Alaska??????
Question:
I have worked in Alaska and seen much of the scenery but I have never been a resident. What makes Alaska as a state different than the rest of the states? Especially for someone wanting to move there. Anything would be very helpful.

Answer:
Well one perk after living in Alaska for a couple of years is the PFD, an annual check that in the last few years has been around $1800. You also get to live in the scenery, not just see it. Its hard to beat saying that you live in a postcard. If you don't want to move the wild you could also move to one of the larger cities and work your way into a more rural area.

ALASKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
Question:
I'm organising a trip to the US this summer and have plans for every state but Alaska and i really want to visit them all, what is there to do????

Answer:
You can take a train down to Seward and check out the Sealife center, go on the Kenai Fjords and see some puffins, sea lions, whales, up close and personal. Go check out the glaciers or Denali... really, depending on when you'll be up here and where you're staying will determine what we have going on really. Check out ADN.com or TravelAlaska.com I hope you enjoy your stay!

How was the Alaska Gold Rush similar to and different from the California Gold Rush?
Question:
I need help with two questions about the Alaska Gold Rush. I just really really don't understand it at all. 1. How was the Alaska Gold Rush similar to and different from the California Gold Rush? 2. What were conditions like for settlers in Alaska? How did they adapt to the new environment? Thanks you guys so much! That's not all of my homework. That's just the two questions out of 15 that I didn't understand. But thank you anyways.

Answer:
Similarities - Both Alaskan Natives and California Natives were attacked, slaughtered and pushed off of their lands by travelers. Differences - Alaska Gold Rush was more significant because there were very few people that left with less than $5,000... some even became millionaires! Also, Alaska's gold is still being mined! In fact, my grandfather and family still run a wealthy gold mine every summer. In California most travelers left with very little more money than they arrived with. However I'm not going to do all your homework! Do some research you'll appreciate American History more! Have a good day!

Planning a vacation to Alaska; What are the places to visit?
Question:
I am planning to fly to Alaska, and rent an RV. I would rather visit in a leisurely manner the beautiful sceneries of alaska, and attractions. INSTEAD of regimented visits done during the Cruises(I feel they are expensive). Any suggestions of what places to visit? What scenic routes to visit? and Glaciers, etc? Thank you.

Answer:
Prior to your trip, pick up a copy of the MilePost. This is the RVer's bible for traveling the Alaskan Highway and touring Alaska. It will detail all the sites and what milemarker, on what highway everything is on. Find it at www.milepost.com. We got ours at amazon.com for half price. You could opt for last years edition since you won't be traveling the entire Alaskan Highway. Also pick up a copy of Frommers Alaska travel guide. it's worth it's weight in gold. A lot depends on where you will rent the RV. Anchorage would be my guess and that's good, although Fairbanks could be better. As soon as possible go to a Safeway store and pick up a Tour Saver coupon book. It's $99 and it will pay for it's self in Fairbanks alone. This book is full of 2 for 1 savings. In Anchorage is an Indian visitors center North of the Glenn Highway and right off Muldoon Rd. For the life of me I can't think of it's name. It's in the Milepost. You will definatly want to stay at Denali National Park. The campground of choice is Teklinika, which is 29 miles into the park. You must have a generator as there is no electric at any campgrounds in the park. Second choice would be Savage River. Purchase a bus ticket for the number of days you stay there. One purchase price and you get to ride the bus into the park as many times as you want. Reservations must be made in advance. Again refer to the Milepost for web sites and phone #'s. Just out of Anchorage is Palmer and home of a Musk Ox and Reindeer farm. These are also a must visit if you have kids or a wife. North to Fairbanks, stay at either Pioneer Park in Fairbanks or Santaland Campground in North Pole. Next to Santaland RV Park is the best Christmas gift shop you have ever seen. Don't miss the museum at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks this is a must. North of Fairbanks is the oil pipeline visitors center and Gold Dredge #8. Also in Fairbanks is the Riverboat Discovery and the El Dorado Gold mine. Coupons in the Toursaver book. South of Anchorage is Seward and the Kenai Peninsula with so many communities I can't name them all. Think of Homer, Ninilchik, Russian River, Soldota, Kenai and many more. At Seward you will want to stay at the city campground right on Resurrection Bay. You will have your choice of electric or non-electric. We choose the latter as that was only $12 per night. You will want to take a glacier cruise, opt for the longest cruise, around 12 hours. Don't miss the Sea Life Center or the Exit Glacier. Use your coupons for the best glacier cruise. I can't comment to much on the Kenai Peninsula since we didn't do any of it except for Seward. Don't waste your time driving through the tunnel to WhittIer from Portage. Whittier is a small town that has seen better days. It will cost you $35+ to drive your RV through the tunnel. The Portage Glacier cruise is good, again coupons. You must drive to Valdez for the sites along the road. You will have 2 glaciers you can walk to and a couple of waterfalls. Again the longer glacier cruise will be the best. Tour the museum as it's interesting and full of earthquake facts. If you are limited in time this is a trip you could skip since it's a full days drive each way. Campgrounds, take your pick out of the Milepost. We stayed in at the Best Western for $189 per night, 2 nights for the price of 1 with the coupons. Our motorhome was being repaired in Anchorage is why we stayed there. You really don't need to use all that many campgrounds, use the rest stops and pullouts when available and when you are allowed. You would be wasting your time going to Tok and Chicken. They are just way points for travelers of the Alaskan and Top of the World Highways when entering Alaska. Chicken isn't even where it was originaly and it consists of a bar, liquor store, cafe and mercantile store. It's a 150 mile round trip from Tok. If I was renting in Anchorage, I would travel to Denali, then Fairbanks on the Parks Highway, South on the Richardson Highway to Delta Junction, the Northern end of the Alaskan Highway, continue on the Richardson Highway to Valdez. Then travel North on the Richardson Highway to Glennallen, turn West on the Parks Highway to Anchorage. You will have made a big loop and done very little back tracking. Now you will need to travel out and around the Turnagain Arm to take in the sights of the Kenai Peninsula. This will require back tracking to Anchorage. With your Milepost, Frommers Alaskan Guide Book and a map of Alaska you can plan your stops. My wife and I are in our mid 60's, drive a diesel powered motorhome, tow a Saturn and we made this trip alone. We just planned our trip for better than a year and did it. I could write a book on our travels to Alaska. With the two books I have mentioned, you will be able to plan your trip. Also get on every e-mail list you can for special deals. Once you go to Alaska you will want to return. Happy Trails

When departing Hawaii for Alaska, can you bring home plants and fruits in your luggage?
Question:
I understand that there are restrictions for bringing plants and fruit to the mainland, but what about direct flights to Alaska? Alaska doesn't have a multi-million dollar agricultural industry to protect, nor is it likely these pests will survive in this cold climate.

Answer:
There is no fruit fly infestation in Hawaii--our fruit flies are non-reproducing. There are other bugs though and you generally can't take anything out of the state unless it has been cleared (pineapples and papayas are available at the airport for purchase). We don't allow similar items INTO Hawaii either.

What industries does texas and alaska have besides oil?
Question:
I have seen posts claiming that alaska and texas have the highest per capita income and lowest taxes. If you take out the oil revenues those socialist states confiscate from the oil companies and all consumers who buy their gas, those sates are nothing but barren land. What industries does alaska and texas have that are man-made?

Answer:
Oil is what they call a "common property resource". That means that it belongs to all of us, just like the salmon in the sea and the gold in the ground. Companies are given opportunities and often, incentives, to harvest these resources and to sell them for a profit. But part of the deal is that they have to pay the citizens who own the resource for the privilege of using resources that belong to us all. In addition to the oil industry, Alaska has strong timber, fishing, metal mining, and tourism industries. There are other minor industries, as well. No matter what the average income, there are people in both Alaska and Texas who are very poor. Manufacturing industry is prone to taxes as much as any other industry. As is agriculture, and other parts of our economy. Each state chooses how it will pay for roads, schools, hospitals, etc. and usually taxes profits, or property, or whatever else is available to them in their state. Like mining and the oil industry, manufacturing also uses up limited material resources. There are few industries that I can think of that do not consume materials at a great rate. The ones that come to mind are tourism, which relies on clean air and nice scenery, and intellectual industries such as research and invention. A software developer or medical researcher would be an example. Your question is interesting food for thought.

How many hours of daylight do different regions in alaska get?
Question:
I need to know generally how many hours of light Southernmost Alaska, SouthCenter Alaska, Interior Alaska, and Northernmost Alaska get in the wintertime.

Answer:
Northern parts of Alaska have six months of darkness, while the farther south you go, the less darkness. I lived for a year on the northern tip of Baffin Island and the sun set on November 2 and didn't come up again until about February 4. I think that might bre about equivalent to the most northern part of Alaska. This link gives the information you need.

What is there to do in Alaska and Vancouver?
Question:
I'm going on a seven day cruise to Alaska in August. The ship leaves out of Vancouver, so I will be in Vancouver for two days. I will be on land in Alaska for about 3 or 4 days. Can anyone give me suggestions on places to go and things to do?

Answer:
I don't know where your stop will be in Alaska, but I would think that the cruise director of the ship can point you to the best places to visit in your port-of-call. As for Vancouver, I've attached their tourism website for you.

How do I get people to understand that Alaska is part of Canada, not the United States?
Question:
People don't believe that Alaska is part of Canada. Maybe by saying ok, look at the globe and look at where the land of Alaska is connected to. So Alaska is part of Canada, not the US. LOOK AT THE GLOBE, DUH!!! Alaska is the farthest state on the northwest side of Canada.

Answer:
some people are a little bit slow in Australia we know that Canada / the USA government purchased Alaska from Russia The U.S. Senate approved the purchase of Alaska from the Russian Empire on March 30, 1867, for $7.2 million at 2 cents per acre, about 5 cents per hectare

Is it illegal to move to Alaska and just build a cabin in the wilderness without any formal documentation?
Question:
There was this guy named Richard Proenneke, in the late 1960's he moved to Alaska. He trekked into the wilderness miles away from civilization and built himself a log Cabin by hand. He lived there for 35 years in peace, alone, in the wilderness without having any interactions with civilization with the exception of a pilot who brought him supplies. I've been told that this is illegal by today's laws and regulations in Alaska - and that you can be fined big time if they catch you doing it. Does anyone know if this is true?

Answer:
If the case you cite was on government land, it doesn't quite add up - homesteading was open in specific areas not just any unsettled area. But if it was private property, it makes sense. It is now illegal, but not because homesteading stopped long ago. Homesteading was a way to obtain government land of specifically offered tracts by "proving out" the land by building a dwelling and bringing in a crop. Rather, "adverse possession" was a way to recognize the "ground-truth" of homestead-like behavior by people who'd lived on land that wasn't theirs. The concept dates back to the middle ages in Europe. If they'd been there 5 years and never been asked to leave, they could take "adverse possession" of the land. Note that they couldn't do this on state land. Nor Federal land. In 2003 (see reference below) Senate Bill 93 was introduced to change the law. Much was made of "private property rights" and of giving private property owners the protection that government land had against "squatter's rights". Amazingly, politicians were arguing that inspecting your land once every 5 years was too much of a burden for property owners. Yet there was no body of evidence or cases that "squatter's rights" were actually ever used much at all. The other situations the old statues addressed nicely was when some common-use boundary (like a fence) is respected by all parties, it becomes the legal boundary. Or a whole subdivision, through a surveying error, is placed 2 feet off. Now, when discovered, everyone's fence is in the wrong place and everyone may be out of compliance with set-back requirements. Previously, the old understanding could easily be made legal. So, in your example, at that time, yes, occupying someone's (private) land w/o being asked to leave for 5 years established the basis for adverse possession. Since 2003 that is no longer the case. Editted to add: Oh, and could you be fined big time for doing it? In a wilderness area or state or national park? Yes. On unposted private land? No, it would be simple trepass. If the land was posting "keep out" or "private property" then it would be criminal trepass, you could file a complaint and maybe the DA would prosecute. In either case, you'd have a good basis for a civil lawsuit against a trespasser who cut down trees, built structures, etc. But you'd get a judgement or award, it wouldn't be a fine paid to the government.
