			Excellent, thanks for sharing your adventures.  Did I miss mention of nearly 23hr long days, sun not setting until 2am?
 What kind of bears?
 
 I lived near Fairbanks for 2 years, while I was in grade school.  I remember fishing for pike, the mosquitos!, moose wandering by the playground, lots of frozen days when you dared not touch metal with your bare hands.  I highly recommend a visit to Alaska.
