Back when I was stationed in Alaska (Ft. Richardson 72 - 75) I flew in there myself, a couple of times (I'm a pilot). Never was much there, but it's north of the arctic circle, so I got a certificate the first time.
On my second tour (Ft. Greely 82 - 85), we sent training groups there several times each summer, in small boats on the Yukon River.
As "our man in the field", you sure do get around. Enjoy your trip, but I would be surprised if there are any members there.
