Rocky McElveen with his wife,
Sharon, are owners of
Alaskan-Adventures. Rocky, the son
of an Alaskan missionary and a seminary
graduate, was raised in Alaska and knows
Alaska's charm and challenges better
than anyone. For twenty years he has
been a professional guide in that state.
His knowledge of the primitive frontier
along with his warm, hospitable manner
adds an unprecedented dimension to his
credentials as a master fishing and
registered hunting guide. He is esteemed
as friend by many who have been under
his guide: President George Bush, Sr.;
General Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager; Major
League Baseball player Dave Dravecky;
Bob Seiple, president of World Vision;
Pastor Chuck Swindoll; and Oakland A's
pitcher Mike Moore, to only name a few.

I stood in the back of the boat, paralyzed by fear. My
terrified partner was huddled in the bow, which was
inexplicably lodged against the riverbank. Mere feet

swinging back and forth, foaming at the mouth, nostrils
flaring, eyes blazing, and ebony-sharp teeth gleaming in
the early morning light. Water from his recent swim

not soon be dripping from them,
It had taken only moments for us to drift from the
comparative safety of the river into a death trap.
Silently I prayed for mercy, knowing that the next few
seconds would determine whether we would suffer a
painful, cruel death by mauling, or somehow be spared.
The choice was not mine to make. It was up to this
beautiful, powerful, angry beast-and God.

My mother was known by her friends as a "fishing and
hunting widow." That's because my missionary/pastor
father loved to hunt and fish in the Deep South, where
we lived. Mom had rarely been out of the Deep
South-rarely out of Mississippi, for that matter. So
when Dad announced that he had experienced "God's call"
to Alaska-and that he was taking her, his three sons,
and his toddler daughter to live there-she just stared
at him, wide-eyed.
