Jns2183 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Is there anywhere you have NOT been? There was some guy who managed to get a state job in California than it went totally remote and he lived in Costa Rica for 3 years using his parents mailing address in California to hide it. He just had to fly up for like 4 weeks a year Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Meh - when I was in Fairbanks it was 86 degrees. Same time it was low 80s here. Seward is my Alaska place. Snow capped mountains surrounding the city while standing in the Pacific, smelling the salt air. THAT was cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well except Juneau haha We’ve been 3 times (two one way cruises and a land trip to the park) and want to go in winter. But once you see Norway Alaska looks like the Blue Mountains. It’s crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha believe it or not there are no chain restaurants of any type in Bethel, which is a big part of the reason my buddy opened up a place there. The big boys don't want to be bothered with it, given that you can only get there by air or sea and keeping stuff stocked can be a pain. UnCommon Pizza is the name, check it out. The original UnCommon opened up in 2007 in Lititz, PA and is still going strong. 11 minutes ago, Itstrainingtime said: Talkeetna, yes...Hatcher pass...yes...Girdwood...nope. Well, the only reason I mention Girdwood is because I was taken to some sort of hippie forest festival there one time haha, and also they have the Alyeska ski resort there. But Whittier, with the one-way railroad tunnel in and out, is a unique little place with some killer views. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire drive from Anchorage down to Seward was jaw-dropping. We flew from Seattle into Anchorage and on our shuttle to our hotel I said to my wife "this is sort of underwhelming"...after spending a couple of days in Anchorage we headed south. We were about 15 minutes clear of Anchorage and came to a screeching halt while moose were standing on the road. At that point and forward, there was nothing underwhelming about our trip... The drive north from Seward to Fairbanks was incredibly long and incredibly inspiring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we found Anchorage very underwhelming. Some of my buddies who've been there many times joke that it's just a larger Altoona haha. But the rest of Alaska, my goodness. Breathtaking beauty on an almost unimaginable level, and the vastness/remoteness is hard to comprehend. It truly is the last frontier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
