The March issue is on newsstands now. It's a pretty cool story — 16 pages, including two 3-page spreads; and a very cool map and mileage bar chart.
It's also online: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2011/03/alaska-trek/koeppel-text
Signed copies available: http://www.andrewskurka.com/store/ngm-march2011.php

Feb 23, 2011 at 5:37 pm #1700727Andrew, when will the signed copies be shipping? Looking forward to reading it but am holding out for the actual magazine.
Feb 24, 2011 at 6:07 am #1700930I am traveling through Tuesday night for presentations and am planning to start shipping as soon as I get back. They had not arrived before i left.
Feb 24, 2011 at 10:37 pm #1701344I'd call it an "adventure" but to me an adventure is when things go badly wrong. You had a very large vision to concieve of, plan and then execute that epic journey.
Congratulations Andrew. When you're my age (67) you'll look back on that time with not only pride of accomplishment but great memories. I've done long Canadian wilderness canoe trips and the 2 day, 100 mile Canadian Ski Marathon and I look back on all of them with fondness. Long preparation is the key to success in efforts like these. Your preparation must have been very well done.
P.S. If you share with us the details of your preparations I think it will be invaluable information and will inspire us to do our own big journeys.
