I bet they are bigger in my neighborhood than they are in yours! Don't you love these people that may spend a single vacation week here, looking out a bus window and thinking they "know" Alaska because they have been here.

A few years back I caught the train from Fairbanks down to the Park for a weekend. I was in one of the fancy Tour cars with the big domes, not wanting to mention names. Anyway, a big, big guy got on after me, sat down in back and buried his nose in the NY Times. Didn't see his face the whole trip. When we off loaded at the Park, he started YELLING at one of the tour guides about how much money this trip cost, and how there was no wildlife, blah blah blah. Tourists are wonderful, it's no wonder they have a season for them. (grin)
