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.
