Only little, tiny Black Bears (they crave being petted) No Alaska Coastal Brown Bears. Those things that resemble Grizzly Bears are actually Ground Hogs, and they are cute, and like to be petted also.




Just KIDDING.

ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).
