Interesting US Maps

Alaska is dangerous? I suppose you could get mauled by grizzlies...

Or fall through the ice. Or freeze to death. Or drown. Or get trapped by snow/fallen trees. Or fall down a mountain or cliff. Or bike in the wilderness and be killed by a grizzly or moose or coyotes/wolves. Or a big dog (which it seems many poor people have a few). Major problems with alcohol, lesser one with assorted other illegal drugs (one being meth). Or sink through the mud at turnagain arm and die. Or crash into someone along one of our worse roads (read: ALCAN, turnagain pass). SLIDE ON THE ICE INTO A FUCKING TREE OR POLE OR DITCH AND DIE. Buy snow tires or chains, depending on what you drive (bus: chains). DO NOT EAT WHITE BERRIES, or most red ones. Don't sleep in the cold. Understand that we have permafrost in many places (don't build like it's Texas). Or get shot while hunting. etc. Respect winter, or die.

Anchorage is also filled with gang-related crime, and a great deal of petty crime. Various villages (particularly native) are full of bootlegged alcohol. Did I mention AK's rape rate by chance?

It's northern, there's violent crime. Yes it's dangerous. So many people die up there to the stupidest of things (ie: not wearing a lifejacket on the water)... had to vent.
