We'll be joining our best friends, godchildren, our son's godparents, etc (all the same people...)in Palmer while my husband moves his freelance DP self up there...<BR/>I found it on a day that I NEEDED to read all the wonderful (and honest!) things about the state...I just pulled it up again to show to my husband and noticed that you wrote it ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!

I have my big ol' filter jug in the fridge that I have to refill almost daily down here in the lower 48. The rest of my family has to drink out of the tap, all because I was raised (or should I say spoiled) with the most delicious tap water in the world at our home on the hillside up there in Anchorage! I know you don't like the moose wandering in your yard eating your trees, but I miss them too. Enjoy these insanely cold months for me! That is one thing that I can do without.

And the kid-friendliness! :) I lived in Fairbanks from 1982-1987 (ages 4-9) and, of every place I lived during my childhood, it was the BEST place to be a kid.

I have read a lot of travel books about it, a lot of non fiction, and I am dying to actually see it in person.<BR/><BR/>My husband, on the other hand, isn't just fascinated, he is obsessed. He is a huge outdoors person and the scenery and the wildlife makes him crazy. He saw the Richard Proenneke's documentary "Alone in the Wilderness" and is hooked. He bought the DVD and watches it at least once a month. He also read the book and downloaded all his diaries from the web. He's crazy.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully someday we will visit, but we live on the other side of the states so who knows when or how.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for the information.
