Sorry, I don't know the exchange rate for alaska money. Yea, the glacier is made of styrofoam. Sorry, the cleaning crew has not got around to cleaning the glacier yet. I need to look at a tide chart to figger the altitude. 30/06, 30/06, 30/06, and a 30/06 is all ya need.
Good luck, good hunting, and good times.

I've been told by several "visitors" that you have much higher elevations when you're this far north...
This is one of the best sets of information I've seen done...great work! We all own one to Chris.
Dennis It's because we live at such a high "altitude", our "altitude" is generally 60� or greater, don'tcha know? Sorry, I don't know the extortion rate for alaska money.

Sheep, Goat, Brown/Grizzly Bear. You are good on Deer, Black Bear, Caribou, Elk, Bison, Wolves and Moose. Of course it doesn't make sense.
Fixed for ya! Thanks Art, done. Don't forget, "Yes we accept American money."

I would to see you, your wife, and son, but I haven't left for parts north for about half a dozen years. Let's set up a call and catch up...we do miss you guys...

I told the kid to be home before dark, didn't see him for 3 months.

Took me a while to understand the "racial slur" answer, but did eventually. Other wise, I think I know the Questions to all those answers. I'm a true-blue AK wannabe. Except, well, I've never owned an A-bort.

I expect we'll have the hover-cars by then, possibly a bridge across Turnigain arm, and certainly jetpacks. So maybe passing lanes won't be as much of an issue.

The stretch from palmer to glenallen is terrible. They even posted signs to inform the slow moving vehicles that if 5 or more cars are behind you, you are required by law to pull over and let them go by. But people can't read or something.

You Alaskaphiles seem to be a stuffy lot! Guess that's cuz you have to endure Sep-May while we vacationeers clog your roads when the sun shines the longest. When I visit (not nearly often enough) I rent the slowest, biggest RV I can find and drive south to the Kenai peninsula and look for Ironbender and swerve left if he tries to pass. Then I go to the local convenience stores and buy up all the beer so BeerHunter has to do without.
Mostly the reason we ask the same questions again and again is we suffer from severe envy. In our eyes you're living our dream and it's fun, reassuring, comforting, etc. hearing it first-hand. Finally, thanks to all of you for suffering our daily assaults on your peaceful lives.
To reciprocate ... if y'all need any information for a trip to Illinois, I'll be happy to provide any and all! But I'm not paying for that keyboard you just destroyed with bodily fluids.

I don't' even know what I'm doing this afternoon let alone 4 years from now yes, I'm a bit of a planner. the trip will be (as slated so far....) 70 days in total. Spending a week working my way to Seattle, taking the ferry to Ketchikan, then moving northwards, town by town, river by river, trout by salmon, grayling by bear, wolf by glacier, observing what happens when God decides to show off a bit. On a side note.... my camper is a bumper pull hybrid with soft walls. its nice and lightweight (better mileage, easier to tow). would you locals consider the soft walls a liability vs the local bear population? I realize they can come into danged near anything they decide to get into.... but am I asking for trouble in a soft walled camper? (am I an idiot for trying, or a pansy for asking?) we don't have a lot of bears in my corner of Texas..... shane

Dave, Wasn't sure we'd see you or not this summer. As I've done with 22lr, I also did with beer. I snuck a feed line into the local micro-brewery when it was under construction and the beer hasn't stopped flowing since! Hope that wont put a crimp on yer planning for the next trip... Mark
