Welcome to My Alaska State Site
I love Alaska My Husband and I have lived here for 5 years...
My husband moved to Alaska first, he got here August 22, 1995.
He started working here and I stayed in Upstate New York
to settle our house and things. Then my husband flew back to New York
and we packed all our belongings loaded them
in a U-Haul trailer and we set out for our trip.
The scenery along the Alaska Highway was so spectacular.
The mountains, the caribou, just breath taking scenery.
It took us 10 days to arrive at our destination Anchorage.
We arrived in Anchorage on October 27, 1996 at 2:30 am.
We stayed with a friend,
and our first christmas here the weather was very warm.
We never got any snow till February, 1996.
So I was not prepared for my first real winter here.
But it really wasn't any different than New York.
The winters are not as bad as people say,
however the days are long, and yes we do have daylight in the winter.
It gets daylight around 10:00am and gets dark around 3 - 4 pm.
The summer makes up for it as it is complete daylight by 4 am
and it is only twilight at night.
We really love the wild life, the moose walk right into your yard.
I love it when spring arrives and all the geese start flying in.
We love camping, hunting, and the great fishing.
At the bottom you will see links to all
my different Alaska Sites that I have up for now.
Enjoy Your visit and please sign our guest book.

"Alaska"
Land of wide open spaces,
Where the mountains touch the sky,
Where the eagles soar, and the glaciers roar,
And the moose meander by.
Land of the great King Salmon,
Home of the huge brown bear.
Place of the playful otter,
Where wildflowers scent the air.
Land that I love and cherish,
Where my heart will always be.
Where my thoughts will never parish,
"Alaska" wild and free!

The Alaska State Song is about our state flag
Eight stars of gold on a field of blue-
Alaska's flag. May it mean to you
The blue of the sea, the evening sky,
The mountain lakes, and the flow'rs nearby;
The gold of the early sourdough's dreams,
The precious gold of the hills and streams;
The brilliant stars in the northern sky,
The "Bear" - the "Dipper" - and, shining high,
The great North Star with its steady light,
Over land and sea a beacon bright.
Alaska's flag - to Alaskans dear,
The simple flag of a last frontier.

The Alaska State bird is the Alaska Willow Ptarinigan
The Alaska State Flower is the Forget Me Nots.
They grow wild all over Alaska.
