My experience in Alaska is pretty much in the other direction. Adak and Shemya. Just stops in Adak, but over a week(1976) in Shemya. It was still winter, but I would go again if I had the chance. Don’t know if it is possible to do anymore.
Friends of mine took a bus to the North Slope last August as part of their visit.
I’m thinking of taking the winter tour this year. Thanks
Only way to Shemya is military charter. I spent 6 weeks out there in 99. First time I’ve ever seen pea soup fog when the wind was blowing 50 knots. Amazing
I was in Galena for 7 years. If you want a moose take a flight out there (halfway between Nome and Fairbanks right on the mighty Yukon River)
I was also in King Salmon on Bristol Bay. Lots of Salmon fishing and take a side trip to Brooks Lodge to see the Grizzly Bears at Fisherman Falls.
I love Alaska an want to go back. If anybody knows of weather jobs up there coming open let me know :-)
