Have you done something really BAD?! Sounds like a long way from home, wherever you live.....

When I was active duty AF, Alaska was a very good duty assignment.

I got to Eielson in 91. Stayed till 99 (IPCOT). went to Luke, Kunsan and came back to Eielson where I retired in 04. You can ride comfortably from mid April till usually mid Oct. I rode mine till snow was falling late October. Scenery is the best in the world, just gotta watch out for moose and caribou. LOL.
