As you\u2019ll read in her first column, Neilson grew up in a floathouse between Ketchikan and Wrangell, and now she has a floathouse of her own. She lives a very particularly Southeast Alaskan version of bush Alaska. Case in point: most people email me their columns. Tara was having technological troubles (she only got internet a little more than a year ago) and wasn\u2019t able to do that. Instead, she put printed version of her column, along with a few photos, in the once-a-week mail-carrying floatplane. I typed it up and scanned her photos, adding a few more she emailed later on. <\/p>\n<p>Tara\u2019s a great writer, engaging and evocative, and the stories she has to tell are fascinating whether she\u2019s talking about putting herself up against the elements or fixing the floathouse roof (or the two combined.)
