A great anti-littering sign. I've seen these only in the Anchorage area. (Jan. 2002)

Sitka, on Baranof Island in the southeast. This one is at a seaside parking spot off Halibut Point Road. (April 2002)

The more common Tsunami sign, posted at a number of places on Sitka roads. (April 2002)

A mild climate as Alaska goes, but still a long season for studded tires. This is on Sawmill Creek Rd. (April 2002)

With scenery, from Japonski Island just before the bridge to Baranof Island. (April 2002)

Alaska 2 westbound. It's all one name, "Fairbanks North Star". A borough is roughly equivalent to a county in the Lower 47. (May 2002 - roadside snow has melted from most places; still many ponds with more ice than open water)

Alaska 1 south/westbound. "Matanuska Susitna" is commonly abbreviated to "Mat Su". (May 2002)
