I like Alaska for the salmon fishing - it's fantastic there. I usually stay in a log cabin with no one around for miles. I like to go with friends, but I'm also happy to be on my own with nature.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To the lover of wilderness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world.
I live on the beautiful Northern California coast. I have always loved hiking, whale watching and being outdoors.
I have a number of places on my wish list, including Antarctica, the Norwegian fjords, and the Amazon. I have a passion for wilderness, and Siberia is on my list - however, that may be a bridge too far.
For sheer majestic geography and sublime scale, nothing beats Alaska and the Yukon. For culture, Japan. And for all-around affection, Australia.
I fly myself everywhere. I like all kinds of flying, including practical flying for search and rescue. And I also like to fly into the backcountry, usually the Frank Church Wilderness in Idaho. I go with a group of friends, and we set up camp for about five days and explore little dirt strips and canyons.
This was one of the places people told me to go, it was one the big trips that you should see: Alaska.
I love living in California and being able to go to the beach or go to the woods.
I've taken a mail packet boat along the southern Newfoundland coast and spent some time on St. Pierre and Miquelon watching the seal colonies. I like pine trees. I like cold rivers.
Really, I didn't like Alaska. It rained, almost every day, at least 300 days out of the year.
What I miss most about living in Alaska is the fishing.
