Stophovr6 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I've been there. During summer time. We fished....a lot. But if you like nature theres tons to see. There's also a lot of beer. But it's great place to see nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumpshakers Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Was stationed there for 5 years, loved the place. Fishing ,hunting, nudie bars, friendly people, great place for some "real campimg", has wild frontier feel but has everything else the lower 48 has to offer.

Mickalino Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I had the closest near-death experience of my entire life there. But other than that, I recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 It was the best vacation of my life. 18 hours of sunlight a day makes for a LOT of fishing. Took home over fourty pounds of salmon and halibut fillets. Tasty! Denali is just awesome and Anchorage has the best strip bar I've ever been to - Great Alaskan Bush Co. Yummy Russians with the Natasha accent. Mmmmmmm....ruskies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickalino Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 That would be moose burgers. No buffalos in Alasky. That would be incorrect, sir.

borninblood Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 The great alaskan bush company and chilkoot charlies are two must go places. I was there for four years.. At one point the bush company was rated one of the top 10 strip clubs in the world. Koots as the locals call the other place is a bar with about 5 bars within... its a total meat market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Dave Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I love Alaska. I'm thinking very hard about going back this summer. Once You live in Alaska for a while it gets in your soul. I really miss the place and the friendly people. Alaska has the nicest people that I have ever met. Here is a link to my thread that I started on Alaska before I went in the summer of 2006. http://extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=152582 Here's a couple of Alaska pics.

Jumbo Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I lived there over 20 years. Everything everyone has said here is true. There's no other place like it. The scale is amazing. And Chilkoot's in the 70's during the pipeline explosion was often life or death :laugh: . Glad I survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
