Nah I don't remember them but Alaska is over twice the size of Texas with only about 600,000 people, so I can pretty well guarantee you not to run into the Palins - unless you go to the State Fair.

Google him....Papa Pilgrim .I knew this guy and his 10 kids....he had more after they moved up there....its a long story....but the family used to travel into southern Colorado from time to time and I have a friend who lives down there and thats how I met him.....there is a pretty interesting story involving him and his brother right before President Kennedy's assascination.....they were under investigation....

Oh, I forgot about Arctic Man and the Alyeska slush cup coming up!! Ever see a skier doing 90+ mph? Gotta have steel balls to do that and we have "girls" that do it too.

Born and Raised and Ill never live anywhere else, besides the 8 years i spent in San Diego Ive been here my entire life all 28 yrs of it lol. After being in Ca im scared to live anywhere else in the lower 48's. And yes I can attest that the fishing here is second to none. Big halibut, big salmon and big bows. Nothing like hooking into a 30" rainbow or even better a 46" steelhead!

The girls here are few and far between and if they have been here long enough its hard to find one thats not been passed around between at least 5 or 6 people you know.

I was born here, before we were a state even. I traveled all over the US over the years, it just felt so odd and tame to want to move to west coast. Alaska reminds me of what America once was, it's one of the last civilized places in the US. That's why I still call it home.

I would rather climate be one or the other. I can handle cold, or I can handle hot...but not half and half, because just as I get used to one, the other comes rolling in and ruins it. Living in Wisconsin is like that, stupid cold, then to stupid hot without hardly a buffer at all. Drive me nuts.
