The Alaska Thread

I can see Russia from my house!

Hard to imagine a more useless one.

My uncle moved there during the 50s and it wasn't long after that his wife divorced him and moved to California.

I opened up my bussy there

I (barely) visited there last summer on a cruise (Carnival!) last summer. It's absolutely gorgeous and wild.

I definitely want to go again on a non-cruise vacation. I (understandably) feel a little robbed because one of the only shore excursions we booked (bi-plane tour of two glaciers) was canceled because of poor visibility. But what I could see of Alaska and its wilderness really captivated me. I'm a nature lover and to have the opportunity to see and explore land that is still wild and underpopulated is very appealing to me.

I cried when two whales breached extremely close to our ship while we were at sea. Yeah, i'm *that* person. Seeing a ton of bald eagles just sitting around nonchalantly on dock piers was pretty thrilling. We even saw some friggin' flying fish and many schools of dolphins.

I live in Northern California, and even though I live where it's not unusual to see deer, fox, wild turkey, rattlesnakes, wild cats of all sorts, coyotes, etc., I could easily live in a much more remote area with more wildlife and be very happy. No, I'd never live there, but another visit (or a few) is definitely warranted, in my opinion.

I love her. Wow is one of my favoite Jams ans her podcast with Willam is hysterical.

I have thought about retiring in Anchorage. I've always wanted to live somewhere where it is cold most of the year. The state pays people to live there. Not a ton, but still...

When she's baked, she's good.

I’ve been there—twice. It feels like you’re on a different planet. It’s so vast and wild and breathtakingly beautiful. It’s also outrageously expensive.

Love Sitka. Yes, it's mildly tourist-y but beautiful. Weather is perfect for me, not too warm, not too cold...just right!

Isn't that where Trump's grandpa ran a whorehouse?

Winter wonderland.

Alashka.

It's the Nunavut of the United States.

In Alaska all seems to breathe freedom and peace, and to make one forget the world and its sad turmoils.

Most gays HATE cold climates

I love their airline!

I prefer Panama.

Alaska Railroad turns 100.

Alaska is a good name for a husky.

Exactly.

I'd love to go there for the natural beauty alone. The people not so much.

I took a cruise up the Inner Passage (heh heh heh). The beauty of Alaska cannot be overstated, but I couldn't live in such an isolated place, even in the cities.

The air there is like nothing you've ever breathed before.

Very beautiful land. Anchorage is a dingy city and very expensive.

As I'm sure the gays there are.
