Yeah, and while you're at it, go clean that glacier. There's no excuse for a dirty glacier.

all those pics rought memories crashing down on me once again...of the glorious days when my family and i rode the matanuska north. that is one thing you lucky folks who were born and raised in alaska.missed out on..the thrill of moving up for the first time...it is a feeling that can never be matched no matter where you may go when you leave there. in our case, it ws to move to nurenburg, germany....and i was there about an hour when i wanted to get back on the plane and go "home"

I have been in Alaska now for 16 years. I drive daily between Wasilla and Anchorage and I am STILL awe struck by the scenery I see every day. The sunrise over Pioneer Peak. The gorgeous fall colors. The glint of freshly fallen snow on the vehicles in the ditch. I'll never get tired of it!

I just viewed your beautiful pictures. Thank you for sharing. My husband and I went to Alaska in 2005. We left feeling that everyone in America should see Alaska at least once in their lifetime. The Alaskan people just "get it". They have such respect for the land and for others.
When I look at my own pictures, I can still smell the air, hear the water rushing etc. We went dogsledding in Juneau and I still hear the crunching under our feet.
A trip of a lifetime.
Thank you to the people in Alaska...wherever we went we were treated soooo well.
I highly recommend it...........

Thanks so much for the pics. We have a short-list of prospective jobs and one is in Cordova. Might be where we end up. After seeing those pics, I sure hope so!
