We lived in Anchorage when I was young but I can still remember the beauty, the wild moose crossing the highway, beavers slapping their tails in ditches along the roadside, snow mounds up to 3rd story windows (base housing), having my own private skating rink in the back yard, the amazing northern lights, and...the earthquakes.

My cousin was stationed in Alaska while serving in the Air Force and she chose to live there permanently. She resides in North Pole, Alaska!! She told me that her son's hockey games are postponed once it reaches 40 below.
