[QUOTE="oldmachguy, post: 15633032, member: 48367"] [SIZE=5]I had to go to Kodiak the first week of May some years ago. I didn't realize how far away Alaska is. The flight from Seattle to Anchorage was longer than the flight from Dallas to Seattle. As we taxied to the gate, I could see a couple of dozen Northwest Airlines and UPS 747's lined up on the ramp. Then the flight from Anchorage to Kodiak (and back) was on one of those 737 Combi's. The sun didn't set until like 11:00 pm. There were "Tsunami Evacuation Route" signs everywhere. The local radio station reported how they had to move one of the school bus stops a few hundred yards because the bears (griz) kept getting too close to the kids, looking for food. When I flew back into Anchorage, on like May 2nd, we landed in a snow storm. Christ. I grew up in Houston. I can handle doing yard work, or swapping a transmission, in 105 degree weather. And if I want mountains, I will go to Colo. or Montana. Alaska is spectacularly beautiful, but it sure is cold, and sure is a long way away.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
