New seatmate identified this scene for me. She said it was Cook Inlet. She lived in Fairbanks and was on her way home. "I came up from San Francisco one day eleven years ago," she said. "And I've never gone back. I LOVE Alaska, especially the Fairbanks area." She spent the rest of the trip telling me about the place. I went into super-interview mode, soaking up everything she had to say. Better than a tour book!
