Hi Snoqueen, welcome to the forum. Where are you in AK? I lived in Anchorage from '86-
89, and really loved my time there. I wasn't MS then, so not sure what that situation is like. Do they still have Reindeer sausage at McD's? I'll be looking forward to your first post regarding what to do if a moose interferes with a shop as it is not covered in the guidelines.
