Trail of Thoughts
A True Alaska Survival Story by David Lomax
Authentic Bush Flight Audio
About the Book
When his family moved to Alaska as a child, he entered a world few people will ever experience.
Working in remote villages north of the Arctic Circle, he helped build homes in communities accessible only by bush plane, helicopter, or barge. Before earning a driver's license, he earned his pilot's license and took to the skies above one of the last great frontiers on Earth.
In the Land of the Midnight Sun, beneath the most breathtaking Northern Lights imaginable, he witnessed both the beauty and brutality of Alaska—a land without mercy.
But the greatest challenges were not found in the wilderness.
Trail of Thoughts is a true story where real life proves stranger than fiction—a journey of adventure, resilience, loss, family, and the search for meaning at the edge of the world.

BEYOND ALASKA
What began in Alaska became a journey far larger than one place.
From remote Arctic villages to experiences across America, the path was marked by adventure, hardship, loss, and unexpected turns that often seemed stranger than fiction.
At its heart, Trail of Thoughts is a story about family, perseverance, and finding purpose when life refuses to follow the path you imagined.
