"Thanks. You're the second person I've heard refer to Los Anchorage. I haven't been to Alaska in 14 years - has it changed that much? Sorry if it has.
...... One place is Tangle Lakes, the other my friend has sworn me to secrecy. ......."
- Hindsight is always rose-colored: The Anchorage of the 60's (where I grew up) turned to Los Anchorage in the 70's (pipeline boom) and again later in the 90's (another indirect petroleum boom).....and never went back, all in my NSHO of course.
- Tangle lakes is a spectacular area. Depending on the time of year one actually goes, getting to Tangle Lakes exposes one to the zoo that is the Denali Highway during caribou season...and heaven help the poor bird hunter who stumbles on a caribou: the sound of bullets whizzing by is unmistakable.
I jest but a little.....but that area is one of the most beautiful in the state in my view.
