Not a musher, but I lived in Fairbanks for 15 months, drove all over AK. Had some good friends in Glennallen. Fished all over that area and hunted a little.
Family down here. Loved it there... Saw 56 below, it had been 62 below the week before, I was in Texas playing golf at 73 degrees! I thought it was "cool" though. Enjoyed it.
