I don't really think about Alaska much, I don't imagine most people do. Lende manages to make this area sound both beautiful and absolutely terrifying, which I'm betting is pretty accurate. At the same time, I grew up in a town that it sounds like was just a smidge smaller than Haines, and despite being worlds apart, I recognize the small town politics and nonsense and little ‘news' stories fondly.
