My son hasn't lived in that area - but he's been in Anchorage several times. They were in Stebbins (by Nome) for a couple of years, in Dillingham one year, Barrow 3 years, and now have settled permanently in Ketchikan. I'd love to take an extended vacation and see more of Alaska... I've only seen the Ketchikan area but I want to see more. I also want to see more of those babies!
