It's not a huge hill to climb for a Democrat to win in Mass, but ALL wins are good wins. Every vote is important!

DU'ers are ALWAYS welcome. We are in the Interior, Fairbanks North Star Borough (county). A big time lot of years! C'mon up; the resident raven and our neighbor, mama moose (2 calves this year!!) would galumph through once or twice.

You might not go back!

No cattle-drive scheduled package tours! Not worth 1/2 what it'd cost to fly/drive. Fly into Seattle, secure a vehicle & head for the ferry. The Alaska Marine Highway is AWESOME!!!! The ferries have staterooms or camp (tent) on deck. Best tourist/local mix of folks ever..... Message me
if you'd like more info. I never get tired of actinv as tour guide.
