I have to say I used to think that snowmobling in Old Forge was the best I was wrong. Alaska is off the hook!Highmarking and luanching off clifs, is something that has to be experienced.
BUT Nothing can compare to a Party or The people @ DAIKERS. I MISS everyone. I ll be in the lower 48 in July so put your beer googles on and prepare for The Beagle.
