travelers and what is called "Industrial Tourism". Independent travelers are welcome any time of the year, industrial tourists are the plague of "road building season".
Road building season?
The four seasons here are divided and described as: 1)
Almost winter. 2) Winter. 3) Not quite winter. 4) Road Building season.
Most outsiders tend to come here during "Road Building Season". My
theory is they want to admire our amazing collection of heavy
machinery in action. I have been told this is incorrect. Coincidently,
in road building season, the rivers turn liquid, the trees leaf out and
actual flower bloom.
People do freeze to death, but not all that much.
Winter related fatalities are frequently
casual errors in behavior and judgement.
Low temperatures make the margin of error
less forgiving.
Drink that bottle of liquor and pass out
in the snow
where nobody spots you
and you are likely dead.
So
anyway...WINTER...come visit us if you like. Not a lot of crowds to
contend with. All you really need is money, lots of it for the various
previously described minimum equipment and stuff. It really is pretty
amazing here in the winter if you can keep your sense of humor and
adventure together, which of course is not a problem for anybody
reading this particular publication.

*The majority of the population lives in Anchorage, Alaska should be considered an Urban state.
My fellow Americans, join the Backbone, send Stiles to the Moon, and let's hope the Lunar Module ascent engine malfunctions."
