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.
