June 29, 2009

Last night we listened to a local folk singer who played at the campground. This long-time resident was very entertaining and provided us a warm welcome to Alaska. I kind of like this little town we are in. It is a lawless town, literally. There are no local taxes, government, police, regulations, or lawyers. Just how I like it.

After driving so much the last week, we took the day off and didn’t drive anywhere. We spend some time planning our next steps. On most maps Alaska is just a small inset. But that is deceiving. Alaska is a monster state, bigger than Texas and California combined. Alaska also has more coastline than the rest of the US. Unfortunately it also has the fewest roads leaving most of it unexplorable except by bush plane.
