I visited there in 2006 for 4 months.
Boat camping in Prince William Sound.
Digging for clams. Fishing for halibut and setting shrimp traps.
Sea otters will swim by and watch you.
Water so clear it looks like 10ft. deep when it's really 40 ft.
Saw 50 eagles in half an hour at Homer, Alaska.
Moose mother and calf walking through the neighborhood
stopping traffic.
Meeting people who've never been outside of Alaska and asking what it's like
in the lower 48.
If you can manage it...go.
It's worth it.
Visit Alaska?
Yup, we should all travel to Alaska. It would be a good opportunity to visit our tax dollars. Those welfare queens in parkas have been getting a healthy chunk of federal money for decades, not to mention the kickbacks (oh excuse me, "dividends") from energy sales that Gov. Palin ladled out. And all we get in return is the pleasure of listening to them bloviate about their hearty, self-sufficient last-frontier way of life.
