Enjoyed reading this thread a lot!
Mrs. Stranded and I are heading up on Saturday to spend a week over our first anniversary -- 2 nights Anchorage, 2 nights Healy, 2 nights Girdwood (with a laaate departure the next day). Driving.
Have only been in LA three years and miss "weather" but am curious if I will get more than my fill of cold and rainy.
In any case, it should be an adventure.
