I've been to Alaska twice. Drove lots of miles, talked to lots of Alaskans. They seemed like pretty good folks to me. Friendly enough. Of course everywhere I travel, rural folks are just about always outgoing and friendly, especially out west. Even rural California. They might act different I guess if I were a state trooper although I have to say that probably 90+ percent of the folks I dealt with in my 30 years as a state game warden were decent and friendly. I will say this about rural Alaska people, a lot of them are junk and scrap hoarders. There must not be much of a scrap iron market in Alaska or maybe the hauling distance is cost prohibitive. There are a lot of house places stacked up with old cars, bicycles, barrels, etc.

Not many places to dispose of 'junk and scrap', in case you hadn't noticed.
