Art, glad to hear you're headed this way. I didn't really think there was any place I wanted to live in but Colorado but since I have come to Alaska I'm not sure I'm going back down there. Words just don't come to express how I feel about the place and people. I know the North Pole area fairly well and my son just took an executive cooks job at a lodge in the Artic Circle. He'll have lot of news to share about things north of me. I know Alaska Mike knows more about AK than I do, I've been here only 4 yrs., but I'm pretty handy at finding out things so if I can help in any way let me know. I've driven up here 3 times so don't know much about the cruises but the drive is spectacular.
It would be great to meet you and yours somewhere. I love road trips so if there is a gathering in Alaska I'd love to be included.
