... traveling. In stores, people look you in the eye like maybe they know you from somewhere. Drivers are rude, like anywhere, but not always. Anchorage citizens are friendlier, freer, feistier. You can't tell who has the money.No one cares who your daddy is. Well, maybe that's changing a bit. But since we became a state in 1959, where's the status? "Hey my family has been in Alaska since 1959?" Don't think so. Some people are starting to show their money. There is a big ...

... back slowly, never look at him in the face and never run; if you did, you would become a potential prey! I was never confronted with such a situation even though I saw a great number of grizzlies fishing in the lakes and in Brooks River.

You need to take the local bus and travel along the 37-kilometre dirt road to reach the Valley of the Ten Thousand Smokes. The landscape is gorgeous. In September ...

... version is manufactured from stainless steel and provided with a hardwood handle for ease of use. They are sold in almost every gift shop.

The bus took us to downtown Anchorage next and some of the group went to the visitor center, while others chose to browse through some of the shops and grab a bite to eat. We did the latter. I noticed a sidewalk cart selling reindeer sausage, but we passed that up and got pizza ...

... lined with salmon fishermen, whitewater rafts, mountain lakes, and many, many log cabins and cottages (See Pic). On arrival at Seward we picked out two campsites overlooking the Seward harbor and watched the boats go in and out. Even Sophie got into the act. (See Pic). We also visited the Alaska Sealife Center, a combination aquarium, research institute and animal recovery center. Neat place! On July 21 we left Seward and started for Valdez. The road to ...

... in the Sea of Cortés between January and March. The Bering Sea, most scientists believe, stands as an indicator of climate change. Changes in the population of marine life, variations in sea ice, and warming of the ocean itself are noticeable measures of the physical and biological components of the ecosystem, although the effects are not yet completely understood. Each year ice may extend 600 miles south of the Bering Strait. Named for Vitus ...

... buy. I call it the Costco effect - you plan on just buying a few things and then you see all this cool stuff you did not think you needed. We dropped that off at the RV and then went to try to find a bike shop to fix Pooh's bike. First was REI but they were way busy. Then another shop, but it was going to take them too long. They did refer us to another shop down the road where the guy was really nice. He was so nice that Pooh felt guilty not giving him any service ...

... yelling at me to look. Precisely in the middle of this accident I get a call from work. I don't recoginze my co-worker on the phone at first or what he is trying to ask me. Essentially he is telling me I HAVE to work a 12 hour shift on the night of my wedding anniversary because there is no one else. When I got out of the car I saw that my rental car had a nice grapefruit size indentation in the bumper. Luckily the other vehicle had nary a scratch on it ...

On our last day, back in Anchorage, we took a tour around the city,
rented a car and drove along the seward scenic hwy, visiting the Alaska
Wildlife Conservation Center. This is a wildlife refuge for the animals
native to alaska that for one reason or another cannot be returned to
the wild, so they make this their home. I have to say this ...

... to say we had a good chat.Thanks to Ciaran, Damian & Mark for all your hospitality, sing songs & beers, ye made a great weekend. From there I caught a quick flight to Anchorage, which has Alaskens say is only 80 miles from Alaska. Anchorage is a small city (300,000 souls)and easy to walk around. What I found great was everybody was complaining that it was too crowded and they want to move further out into the wilderness. Now they say that the State Bird of Alaska is a the mosquito ...
