When your weekly TOPS meeting rolls around, do you find yourself eagerly awaiting the chance to check back in \u2013 with your friends, your body and your support system?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(We sure hope so!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re ever on edge about attending \u2013 maybe you\u2019re nervous you gained a few pounds, or you were invited out to dinner instead, or you\u2019re simply lacking motivation on this particular day \u2013 that\u2019s probably standard. We all seem to have those weeks, when none of our commitments sound just right, or we\u2019d rather laze on the couch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next time you experience one of those days, I want you to think about Dee Branshaw, from TOPS AK 0048. Dee our Member of the Month for April, and she caught my eye on Discord, our new chatroom-style environment online<\/a>, where she was recently explaining to fellow TOPS members that she commutes seven hours one way to attend her chapter meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you read that correctly. Seven hours by boat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re unfamiliar with what life is like in rural Alaska, you\u2019re not alone. I had no idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dee told me all about the Alaska Marine Highway System<\/a>, which is a ferry service operated by the state. Then, she enters the longest tunnel in North America to get through a mountain \u2013 only to drive an hour to Anchorage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c(This is) life on the last frontier!\u201d Dee said in a Discord chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is just one of the reasons why Discord is so cool. I didn\u2019t have to schedule a call with Dee, or work out the time difference; I was just clicking around through all TOPS\u2019 little \u201crooms\u201d \u2013 we have areas where people are discussing workout ideas, recipes, or just idea-sharing and networking amongst themselves \u2013 and Dee was explaining what her schedule looked like on meeting days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dee wakes up at 3 a.m., as ferry check-in takes place at 4 a.m. The boat departs at 5 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll passengers sleep on the floor of the ferry, as there are no staterooms,\u201d Dee said. \u201cIt\u2019s how the peasants travel!\u201d she typed with a laughing emoji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then there\u2019s that tunnel \u2013 the Whittier, Alaska train tunnel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe drive on the tracks,\u201d Dee said. \u201c(It\u2019s) one-way traffic for cars on the half-hour. Northbound is on the hour, southbound is on the half-hour. And then it\u2019s closed for an hour when a train goes through, to let it pass and to get out all the train exhaust. It\u2019s like traveling back in time to WWII when it was built.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fascinating, isn\u2019t it? Dee shared a link of the ship, and said the locals call the ferries \u201cblue canoes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, they are old and slow!\u201d Dee said. They do carry vehicles though, which is important \u2013 35 of them, Dee said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She does the trek monthly, for essentials, stocking up on food, freight parts (her family owns a business where these are needed), appointments such as the doctor and dentist, and of course, TOPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI look forward most to my TOPS meeting,\u201d Dee said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I asked Dee about whether she\u2019d like to join her group, perhaps on Zoom, on the days when she\u2019s not able to make the trip, she said she\u2019s OK with her current setup. She loves the camaraderie and the people she\u2019s met through TOPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll just keep gleaning all I can from the TOPS website and will (poke around) on Discord,\u201d Dee said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thanked Dee for sharing, and she thanked ME for \u201cthe interest in our \u2018Wild Alaska.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like I said \u2026 keep Dee in mind, next time you\u2019re tempted to skip a TOPS meeting. If she can make it \u2013 so can you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
