Colorful Characters of the Far North

Of the many things we enjoy about Alaska, one is the wonderful collection of larger than life characters. Often lovable and extroverted these are the personalities you bump into in the most unlikely places and oddest of times. How do you find them? Well, likely they will find you first! Coffee shops, gas stations or bars are a good place to start - particulary those old saloons that look like western movie sets in remote, off the beaten track locations. Look for the ones with a sawdust floor, scattered peanut shells - and the all important broken furniture --- it'll be like striking gold - you'll have Bonanza on your hands. With any vacation it's often the memories of people that linger longest. It's true to say that on any of our vaction routes chances are good you'll meet one or two. Alaska is that kind of place. From the saloon in the tiny village of McCarthy, deep in the St Elias Mountains to a gas station in Tok Junction or The Roadhouse in Manley. It's part of what makes Alaska tick. Combined with an invigorating sense of freedom it makes our neck of the woods a true quest for today's savvy travelers. To discover the heart of it - just step off the beaten path occasionaly - well, to be honest you needn't go that far! Our downtown location on G Street is a magnet for colorful characters what with 'Darwin's Theory' bar and 'Side Street Espresso' coffee shop we see them every day.
