Only in Alaska (Part 2)

Here are a few other things I ran across today that are unique to this state…

This bus is advertising a special burger only available up here — the McKinley Mac, named after Alaska’s Mount McKinley or Denali, the highest mountain peak in North America. They’re really large burgers.

A 24-hour drive-thru coffee spot… This probably really comes in handy in the winter months.

This license plate signifies a Native group that is from the Aleutian Islands in Alaska.

Salmon in a box. You can find it at any grocery store, Wal-Mart or gift shop up here! It makes a great Christmas gift.

This is the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, which serves as a medical center to Natives, as well as a medical supply distributor, a professional recruiting agency, a health research organization and a public health and advocacy agency, among other things.

Only in Alaska

Here are a few things I’ve stumbled across in the past nine weeks that you usually don’t see in other parts of the U.S. …

Look at this gorgeous sky today. It’s surreal, isn’t it? The clouds appear smeared. This is common for Anchorage, locals told me.

Moose crossing signs!  I pass a few of these every day as I’m driving to work and coming back home.

Unleaded gas at $4.44.

FedEx Kinko’s proudly ships fish in Anchorage!

Okay, so this is something you probably see more often than we do up here, but I had to get a picture of this… yesterday was the first day in probably a week that it was sunny outside. Everyone was elated!

Praise God for the sun. This unexpected surprise really brightened up my day.
