Alaska Been there did that. 8.5 years up there and it was an adventure. My 1st wife was an Alaskan born red head pool shark! I have many friends and two wonderful daughers that live there.
There would be no place better to go on a trip to and if any of you ever get the chance to go, GO. Just a few miles out of any town there and you are in the wilderness. The only draw back is the distance in getting there.
I have driven the Alcan Hwy. Once up and Twice Back to the lower 48. The Alcan alone is a real adventure. I once drove from Eartquake Park in the Turnagain Area of Anchorage to Johnson City Tennessee in 5.5 days in an Isuzu 4x4 Pick up. That is 4500 miles you do the math cause Tug was rolling along at a good pace.
I have never been any place that was not special in it's own way. All you have to do is look and the treasure is always there for the taking. I have mostly lived in the south, Texas, Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Then there was Connecticut, Alaska, Washington State, all were wonderful in there own ways.
I have traveled to all the other states other than our Island state Hawaii. No place was with out merrit. I even found something good in the Industrial Waste Lands of East Chicago, Indiana.
However I am happest here in my home land of Tennessee. I left here as soon as I was old enough to do so and the one day I just could not wait to come home. I was blessed to go a bunch of places and most of your towns has tugs foot prints in them or at least tire tracks.
We are all lucky to just get to live in this country. Alaska is a great place but it has nothing on anywhere else if you take the time to search the landscape, meet the people, taste the local flavor, and learn something about where you are. I have never been any where that I did not like. Tug[addsig]
