let the adventure begin

For our group it is heading to uncharted waters. For the hosting people, it is home that our group is heading to.

Fun facts:

-nickname, The Last Frontier
-state flower, Forget-me-not
-population, about 650,000 [by comparison, Detroit is about 900,000]
-capital, Juneau (pop. 31,000 - a little more than Mt. Pleasant)
-Anchorage population 260,000 (think Grand Rapids)

Native peoples (Inuit, Yupik and others) are about 15% of the state population, as compared to about 1.5% for the lower 48 states; so 10x as many
