Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, is in the south-central part of the state on the Cook Inlet. It's known for its cultural sites, including the Alaska Native Heritage Center, which displays traditional crafts, stages dances, and presents replicas of dwellings from the area’s indigenous groups. The city is also a gateway to nearby wilderness areas and mountains including the Chugach, Kenai and Talkeetna. ― Google
#ANCHORAGE #ALASKA #TOP10 I don’t know if you need to hear this, but:
These lists are not intended to be used for making life changing decisions. They are just another look at the city. I present both good and bad points of view on this channel. I don’t just make videos that are negative. There are positive videos on the channel too, check them out. They are made from statistical sources made available by government agencies as well as first hand resident experiences. If you are happy living here, I am happy for you. No need to send me death threats.
Thank you to the following people who made the images of the city available under CC licensing. They in no way endorse or promote my videos in any way.

North to Alaska
Recent space a trip taken out of Jackson, Ms to Elmendorf AFB (Anchorage) Ak. The aircraft was loaded with troops going to their annual training (AT) but since there were vacant seats, other personnel (including military retirees) were eligible for the remaining seats. Space a has no cost to the taxpayer, although the seat (if available) is free, all other expenses (food, ground transportation, lodging, etc) is the responsibility of the individual.
Space A is not for the feint of heart, you can be bumped anywhere along the route, and ALL flights are 1 way ONLY. (My 1st visit to Alaska in 2008 was because I was bumped there from an aircraft returning from Japan) Seats usually leave a lot to be desired although this aircraft was equipped with fairly comfortable seats. Jump seats or web seats around the sides are the norm.
We traveled with our frequent travel companions, the Garrens (from Pearl Ms.) on this trip, splitting expenses while at the same time, multiplying the fun.
This video is from photo stills taken on the trip, highlighting many of the things we did and places we visited.

Beautiful! July 2010 has been great, weather-wise.

20150710: Day 33, Denali to JBER, Anchorage, AK
The 10th of July 2015, day 33 of our travels. Due to the continuing issues with wildfire smoke-filled air we departed Denali around 10:00 hrs. that morning heading south on the A-3 (George Parks Highway) and the A-1 (Glenn Highway) towards Ft. Richardson, part of the reorganized Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) military base where we would park our RV at the Black Spruce CG, JBER, Anchorage, AK campground until the 28th of July when we would then head towards Seward, AK. These 18 days would be our longest stay at one location since we began our road trip. There was a 30-day limit placed on campers at this site to allow time for others to also enjoy the campsite. We did have to periodically renew (weekly?) our campsite permissions. There are two RV campsites on JBER, one on the USAF (Elmendorf) side of the base, and another on the ARMY (Ft. Richardson) side of the base. The USAF campground had no sewer hookups, so we opted to stay on the ARMY side, the “Black Spruce Campground.”
Staying on a military base campground brings a touch of the military back into my life. We would hear revile each morning, was able to eat at the chow hall, and hear the noise of freedom several times a day as the F-22 fighter aircraft would fly overhead on their missions. The campsites were built as “pull-offs” from the gravel road that meandered throughout the campsite.
The weather during our stay consisted of a mix of light rain and sunshine. Partly cloudy most of the time. The rain came in the form of a light sprinkle with one exception when we had a real downpour!
One evening we were visited by a moose cow. We were sitting in our trailer at the dinning table, the pups were in their usual place under the table in their bed. They began barking when they saw a moose head appear at our RV’s entry door! Looking up to see what was going on caught me by surprise! By the time I collected my thoughts, grabbed a camera and headed towards the door…Ms. Moose was heading down the road.
