Hey, I got a cheap house there I can sell ya.



Alaska has some pros and cons. Low crime, scenic beauty, lots of space, camping, fishing, skiing, rock climbing galore. But the winters can be brutal when you don't see the sun for weeks at a stretch. The cost of living is high since almost all food stuffs have to be shipped in. There is a dividend for residents who have lived there a year, but it doesn't really offset how expensive things can be.

Consider Montana as Alaska lite.
