I would love to visit Alaska. I have seen so many pictures of it and it looks like such a beautiful place. It definitely is God’s Country.

That’s a lot of bears. I certainly hope they don’t revolt. LOL Could spell disaster for the humans.
I would have thought that the vegetables would have been smaller in Alaska. Some whopping cabbage. This site is a lot of fun. Keep up the good work whoever is behind the scenes.

I would love to go fishing in Alaska. That is my dream fishing vacation. They can keep the cabbage though. I dislike the stuff intensely.

Would love to do three things in Alaska - go salmon fishing, try panning for gold, not to get rich, but just for fun and go mushing. I think it would be awesome to ride behind a team of dogs. Maybe one day.
