Rugged, Beautiful, Isolated... Home

by muse_chik - last update: Jun 1, 2005

And today's temperature is...
It would appear that in my excitement for my travels elsewhere- I have neglected to post any information about my own home- Alaska.

I've been living in Alaska for nearly six years now- longer than any place ever, as I also spent a large chunk of my childhood here in the interior.

It is beautiful country- unforgiving winters; warm, sunny (and I mean LOTS of sun, sunny) summers.

Living in the interior- it is not uncommon to see winter temperatures of -40F. This winter I had the pleasure of experiencing -55F, and the freezing of my car into one huge block of ice. Talk about the ultimate cabin fever...
My Beloved Bertha
Summers afford the opportunity for numerous road trips to Anchorage- something that I take advantage of whenever I have the time off from work!

A six hour drive- the last trip offered up 2 moose, one dall sheep, and too many mosquitos to count.

Always fun!
