This is my first year living in Alaska. My husband wanted to try out a new state for a year or two. The wildlife and landscape is like no other state here in Alaska. I appreciate the state's beauty, however people who live here don't mind the cold and snow. No kidding!

Drive 10 miles and you are in the wilderness. Amazing colors, beautiful sunsets, summer midnight sun! We still see moose and bear in town!
