The Lakelands are gorgeous country with well considered carefully laid out walking paths, countryside and sheep, lots of rain but in a good way. We all love our own ground, but if you get a chance to visit the Lakelands, do it and take your time. It's magic country.

I can live without moose but would definitely need something to do. I wonder how the fishing is around Kendal. There must be some nice trout streams in those hills. Anybody know if there are atlantic salmon runs there? How about saltwater fisheries offshore?

When I was a foolish young man, I worked for a geology survey in the Brooks Range one summer. My record was 22 mosquitoes in one swat. Their companionship made shitting and bathing in the streams extremely difficult. :LOL:
Yeah this video is from prudhoe, about 80 miles north of there. I worked there for 8 years, and must have killed billions.

so were you a land surveyor or some other kind of “survey”?

That's the stuff nightmares are made of...and all the reason I need to not live in Alaska.
Haha, this is in a very sparsely populated area where they are particularly bad, as it is nothing but swampy muskeg. In fact it’s the least populated county or borough in the United States, despite the fact that it’s about the size of Utah, haha. Not so much because of the bugs, but the -60 winters in 3 months of total darkness.

In most of the state the skeeters are easily handled with a little deet and/or some pipe smoke, with the rare bad day or 6, and are only out for 4 or 5 months a year. Rain or a breeze easily knocks em down as well.
