    Hey, from what I've heard, that's a smart way to camp up there. I understand the mosquitoes and flies are slightly smaller than the grizzlies.

    Have an amazing time. I'm jealous.

    Actually, not so bad on the mosquitoes...no worse than N.C..

    The heat wave up here has been very destructive to the trees and wildlife, especially the fish.

    the temperature in the cook inlet is so high that salmon are dying

    The hardest part of Alaska by far is getting there, but it's well worth the trip.

    I did a cruise from Seattle round trip and saw just about everything except whales and Denali (nee Mt. McKinley). Hint: do not leave Seattle at 11PM WA time and go to work at 9AM NC time consecutively. Work won't appreciate your dedication.

    Alaska "heat" seems a lot hotter than the thermometer. I went during a heat wave that felt a lot like the weather would have in NC.
