Made the drive up the ALCAN last week for our move up here to Alaska. Saw some amazing country. We are in awe of all the scenery around Anchorage. I still can't believe we live here now. Been here less than a week and I've seen 3 bull moose and a fox. There were some moose outside my new shop this morning. Here are a few of the 500+ pics we took on the way up.

It sure is beautiful up there 

Wow. Wish I had the time to visit there looks awesome.

Ah yes, AK.  Brings back memories indeed.  However, you're not going to convince me that first photo is in AK.    Looks more like Lake Roosevelt (Columbia River) to me.

i want to go up there someday to hunt, fish or both. btw, any bass up there

...any bass up there

No. Alaska is the only state...They have other options!

;D ;D ;D

The Greyling fishing can be really fun.  And of course, there's salmon and halibut.  Good times!

Bring Deet.

Cases.

Sure is beautiful country up there. It's going to look real good in a few weeks.

Awesome pictures!!

Congrats on your move. Awesome pics. The elk around Jasper and Banff are just ridiculous. If you think the moose are abundant right now, just wait until next spring when they're all dropping calves in the valleys/cities. They'll be everywhere. You'll also probably see some grizzlies start strolling through the neighborhood the next few weeks as the days shorten and they put on all the extra lbs they can in preparation for winter.

I spent a few months in Soldotna on an internship in college and absolutely loved it. No bass, but you can still find some lakes with big pike. The native rainbows in the Kenai are legendary.

Ah yes, AK. Brings back memories indeed. However, you're not going to convince me that first photo is in AK. Looks more like Lake Roosevelt (Columbia River) to me.

You're partially right Glenn.  That is one of the lakes just north of the border.

I was stationed in Fairbanks for three years, and I had the option of staying for thee more. One of the deciding factors was the lack of bass fishing. Salmon and grayling fishing are fun, but it's just not the same.
