Juneau, Alaska | Hike with Governor Sarah Palin

#6  Been through Juneau about 5 times during the last year. It is beautiful and green. It is green because it is rainy and misty, and you better like it if you live there. Takeoffs and landings can be quite exciting, never boring. You do not realize how confined it is at Gastineu Channel until you come in on a clear day. Heh.

#5  There were a few snow flurries last time I was in Juneau which was late July a few years ago. Great town, I had thoughts of moving there myself.

#4  I have an aunt that lived in Anchorage before Alaska was a state. I was always impressed with her descriptions and photos of the State. Her husband was a Navy pilot stationed up there at the time. Juneau is beautiful-- looks like East Tennessee in the winter when it snows except it seldom snows except up high in the mountains.

#2  "Tag" on Video says April 2008. Juneau has a 'temperate' climate, similar to Chicago. Doesn't get as hot in the summer, though.

Don't be fooled, though. 'Not wearing a coat' doesn't mean that there aren't thermal undergarments.

#1  cool video. It makes me want to move there. I wonder what month that is. She's not wearing a coat and there isn't much snow on the ground.
