We have been in Alaska for almost a month. Several things come to light for us.
#1. Alaskan's are an extremely hard working and resilient people. They work multiple jobs to survive.
#2. Alaskan's are a very giving people (unless they are combat fishing for salmon as we saw with Abby's dunking).
#3. Alaskan's work very hard through the summer because when winter arrives, it's a bitch.
#4. We certainly can see why people come to Alaska. The state motto is "the last frontier". You can park along side the road and stay the night. You can park virtually anywhere and no one will bother you. No one is a stranger. You can start a conversation and instantly bond with people.
It is an incredible social metric.
I have been freezing my ass off and enjoying every minute.
The Discovery Channel series "The Most Dangerous Catch" is very accurate and at the same time very"inspiring".
More tomorrow.
