Mrs. Animal and yr. obdt. spent the last three days wandering around The Great Land.  Our purpose was mostly just enjoying ourselves but also doing some shopping around of neighborhoods for an eventual semi-retirement.

Alaska is a wonderful place if you like to hunt, fish, camp, or engage in almost any other outdoor activity.  It’s also a great place to go if you want to live a quiet life and be left the hell alone, which has long been one of my fondest wishes.  It’s also the only place I’ve ever been where I never felt hemmed in.

We love Alaska.  It’s one of the best places left anywhere.  Photos from this trip follow.
