Most people outside probably in vision Alaskans spending long winter hours in our dark snowbound homes; sipping a hot beverage huddled around a wood burning stove and longing for those fleeting summer days. NOT! We certainly enjoy summer, but don't let cold and a little snow stand in the way of our enjoyment of the beauty of our state.

Whether a small cabin on a rural road,(or even way off the road) or a picture perfect home, yard, and garden in town, I have yet to see an "ugly" view, or not to be able to spot some clue that says, "A proud Alaskan lives here."

For some, that might mean moose antlers over the garage, or a picture perfect garden boasting giant cabbages, or a lifetime collection of automotive memories. Sitting way off in the back 40, might be one's original home (usually with tires, all be they flat). I hope this page might be helpful for you to find your special place in Alaska.
