In Alaska...

Well, so far are having a blast in Alaska. What a beautiful land. Tundra, mountains, lakes, glaciers and plenty of wildlife.

So far in Alaska...

• There are plenty of free-loader spots to park your RV...this is free-loader-heaven.
• The weather is totally unpredictable, meaning it is always bad, but can turn into a nice day in a minute, then turn bad again an hour later.
  
• There are no angry AM stations to entertain me on long drives.
• You can buy Sara Palin calendars and comic books (where she is a super hero).
• Salmon bake is delicious.
• State parks are super nice.
• This is the place to buy real rain wear not the crap that is sold in the Lower 48.
• You start to say "Lower 48" to refer to the "other" (with a hint of lesser) states.
• When the sun is out...is surreal, the light is so low that is feels like a never ending afternoon.
• I have learned to love the raindrops taping on the roof of the trailer.
• I have learned to love to go to bed with the light coming through the window.
• People love to ride ATVs without helmets and carry their infants with them along the ride.
  
• Bald eagles are like rats looking for scraps and garbage to eat.
• Diesel and gas are super expensive...I have seen as high as $4.05 for a gallon of diesel.
• The weather report mentions how many minutes of daylight you loose every day past solstice...here, daylight is precious.
