I've lived and raised a family in Alaska 42 years. I first visited Alaska in 1966 (all dirt, ~1440 mile Alaska Hwy back then). We carried extra tires, gas and headlite protectors. Later after college (6 yrs with extended major) and getting a grubstake, I returned and completed a 30 year career. Now retired.KL7J's QTH Location from space
