no beaches to really swim,you're right, but the lakes get really warm when the sun is up 24 hours a day.Boating,swimming jet skiis,all that shit is a everyday thing for like 2 months,lol

But really its fuckin cold a lot,no doubt.My next move is gonna be tropical

I miss the days of a hand shake deal....:-) ... now a days...bring your Liar with you for everything....oooooops squse me....I meant Lawyer....shhhhhhhssss
 
My first time up here was a little over 20 years ago and I came up for work. I stayed two months and fell ass over tea kettle in love with it. Two years later began an annual 2 week vacation that went on for 17 years. Two years ago we moved here because of work. Yes the winters are dark, cold and long but there is snowmobiling, skiing, snow boarding, ice fishing, hunting for moose, caribou, bear, etc., and other winter sports. During the summer there is nowhere else that can compare to here; we have world class fishing, spring bear hunting, and world class beauty.

Preach it buddy!!!!
 
Nah I don't remember them but Alaska is over twice the size of Texas with only about 600,000 people, so I can pretty well guarantee you not to run into the Palins - unless you go to the State Fair.

I see Todd all the time
(couple times a year anyway) I have Sarah's old Indy 500 snowmachine as a back up
 
Oh, I forgot about Arctic Man and the Alyeska slush cup coming up!! Ever see a skier doing 90+ mph? Gotta have steel balls to do that and we have "girls" that do it too.
