The Caravan Connection
Orphanage and School for Eskimo and Indian young
people
 Les Zerbe
If you look on a good
map, you will find Arctic Circle Hot Springs in
northeast Alaska, accessible by a state-maintained
road from Fairbanks. A large state-maintained runway
borders the Springs. It’s a privately owned hot
springs that cannot be taken over by the state or
the Feds. It’s been developed since the early 1900’s
and, until recently, has been open to the public.
The man who now owns it is Bobby Miller, a true
Alaskan sourdough, who founded two airlines here
years ago and brought to Alaska the first pure jet
airliners. He closed the hot springs two years ago
due to his age of 90 years. He wanted to “put things
in order” and put it up for sale to the public for
7.25 million dollars, but he might sell it to me for
less —perhaps for one million. He is 100% behind the
vision of the orphanage and school for Eskimo and
Indian young people.
