So:
50 clues for Anchorage proper
10 clues for Seward Highway
8 clues for Denali
4 for Talkeetna
2 for Girdwood
(3 boxes prepared for insertion into natural environment)

It's currently 57* in Anchorage. Will need to remember the woollies. Now onto the southern portion of our adventures. . .

Sounds fab. We almost went on an Alaskan trip last year, cancelled due to father in law's illness...

57! That would be wonderful... My car thermostat advised 110 in Johns Creek this afternoon (Atlanta)... Crazy !

*Sigh* Was actually considering boxing today but Sparky didn't want to poke his nose out of the AC. Yeah, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Its NOT that cold. Think t-shirt under a sweatshirt and you'll be fine. Maybe a fleece vest with mittens and headband in the pockets.

If only we could trade a little of our cold for a little of your hot, we would both end up comfortable. It's the heart of winter here, and we are going through a cold snap.

um, denise? i know it looks in all the pictures like i have fur, but i'm actually, far as anyone can tell, a lizard.

yup, start to shiver at 70, with actual teeth chatter at 64. T-shirt, sweatshirt, fleece AND mittens it is!

Went there in July of '09. Packed fleeces, long underwear, smart wool socks none of which ever saw daylight. And with midnight sun, there's alot of daylight. Record temps. On a glacier in 85 degree heat. Had to wash shorts and t shirts. You'll be just fine. All this talk has me missing AK : (

Well, actually, we are going to southern California for 4 days after Alaska, to visit with our son and daughter-in-law, so there will be shorts and t-shirt in there as well.

Have i mentioned how excited i am about this whole thing?!?!?
