Don't forget Bethel.I lived there 3 years. No
trip to Alaska is complete without seeing the
non-tourist Alaska. If you fly over the
Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta you'll wonder why they
don't say "1,000 lakes" on the license plates.
BTW, the wildlife taking refuge there  to fear is
the State Bird, the mosquito.

Guzyk?!!)
 Sorry, I could'nt resist.
