Greetings from the frozen North,
How many 'real' Alaskans (not 'snowbirds') are on this forum?

Not sure I can include myself as a real Alaskan. Been in Anchorage 35 years, but as we all know Anchorage isn't really Alaska. It's just 10 miles away though.

Hey.

I'm new here, but just read your post.

I am not from AK, I am sorry to say, but I've spent a lot of time there doing construction gigs - mostly in "the bush". Been to the Arctic, the Bering, Fairbanks, Glacierview, South Nak Nek, Anchorage (of course), Wasilla Valley, Resurrection Bay (halibut), Soldotna, among others.

I am going to Chidnik Lake soon and will be on the Yukon (Sheldon Point) this summer. An point in taking my MD with me, or should I just bring my fishing pole? Are there restrictions? I can't see much of a problem out in the villages.You'd maybe have to get permission from the elders.

Comments??

Born and raised in Alaska, of 52 years, my family goes back for generation to generation. I have always liked this great state and will never leave it as long as I shall live. Michael,

I watch Ice road Truckers does that count ? But on the serious side from what I have seen on several TV shows Alaskans are an amazing group of people. I could not do it but wish I could. Your friend from the sunny and warm south.

Love Alaska, I was there in 1971-73. Lived in Fairbanks & worked in a log cabin on Alaskaland as one of President Johnson's first Head Start-Home Start Visitors. I have a family & friends living in Palmer and other areas of Alaska.

Went fishing, hiking and panned for gold in the Circle area. One day I would love to go back for a visit and pan for gold again

Memories.

Hi,

I was born in the Territory of Alaska and been here ever since. I love it here but I may move someday to someplace where I can detect more than 6 months out of the year.
