Title: Any fly in alaska trip recommendations?
Post by: uncoolperson on August 03, 2009, 07:30:25 AM: Pushin some things around I think I'm going to take the wife to alaska for a few days end of aug.

Any single day fly in suggestions, or single day guided suggestions (cheaperish)

Thinking 1st day fly in then a few days driving around (show my old high school, stomping grounds, etc...)

It is an awesome trip, usually every time I went seen grizz, moose, eagles and caught a ton of fish.

not stuck on fly in, cheaper is better (means I can hit a cheap charter out of homer too).

just got done trying that logic... playfully suggested I should stay if I go (it was a joke, not a serious threat).
