Bob and Florine moved to Alaska in 1984, starting out in an old log cabin in Sourdough with no modern conveniences. Florine recorded their early adventures by writing a weekly series in a local newspaper as a way to share in their adventures with family and friends back home. This eventually led to a televised series named “Alaska Adventures” and “On the Road again with the Hirsch’s” on a local cable channel.
