Alaska is the bomb. I would live there in a heart beat if I could convince my wife that living off the grid would be a grand adventure. I suspect they are high on the Freedom list.

Half the year it's daytime and half the year it's night time. Gorgeous though.

I was there. Last time was in 1997. Started in Anchorage and flew out in a C-130, jumped into the snow from about 1200 feet, stayed 3 weeks. Northern Warfare Training School in Black Rapids, AK.

Damn, that sounds like too much fun. I love winter the most because there are no bugs. also it's more 'play for keeps' than temperate weather.

I will have to dig up some pics. I have some from guys on the ground at the jump as well as thermometer pegged out at -35 F. I think they recorded the temp that night at -50 or something.
