We sprayed a little OFF and were not bothered at all. When I think mosquitoes, I always compare it to a trip down I-75,the notorious "Alligator Alley" in June. I should have never ventured out of my car. That was the worst. They were biting right through layers of clothing. Thank God for the huge dragonflies that hovered inches from my face picking them off one by one.romanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988548647887978919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17868404.post-23008674835836709892007-08-05T23:25:00.000-04:002007-08-05T23:25:00.000-04:00RomanWhat about the mosquitoes?

The wilderness is very evident just outside every community. No urban sprawl here,to be sure. <BR/>Food prices are high. A bag of potato chips...$5.00 in the small towns. I can readily see why a lot of the native indians still maintain a partial subsistence lifestyle. In the 250 or so tribal towns still in existence, clothing is mostly modern but hunting, trapping and fishing are still preferred.romanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988548647887978919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17868404.post-4773368274638382952007-07-27T04:03:00.000-04:002007-07-27T04:03:00.000-04:00With Alaska's unique economy, climate, scenery and...With Alaska's unique economy, climate, scenery and culture; did you feel in another country?Frank Partisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536211653082893030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17868404.post-41324924044917101862007-07-26T14:04:00.000-04:002007-07-26T14:04:00.000-04:00Hi Clay,I wanted to try out a new digital camera s...Hi Clay,<BR/><BR/>I wanted to try out a new digital camera so I took around 320 pictures.
