If you head up this way you should spend a day or two around Delta Junction. If you like the rural lifestyle you might just enjoy Delta. It has more of a Montana rural feel with a fair amount of agricultural land around the community. If you come through Fairbanks be sure to book a night up at Chena Hot Springs. The northern lights up there can be downright phenomenal.The Hot Springs areabout 50 miles northeast of Fairbanks on a well maintained road.
Bartlett's books are a great resource. If you want even more info you should check out his forum through his website, Pristine Ventures. Lots of AK info in there and a good place for a newbie to start asking questions.
While you're in Anchorage you should swing into the Wiggy's Alaska store and talk to Marc Taylor. Marc's a great guy to kick back and have a cup of coffee with and shoot the breeze. Just don't spend too much time playing withthe Wiggy'sgear, or you'll want it all.
Good luck with the research. There's a lot to learn, but there's a lot of people that will help you if you ask the right questions.

Feel free to PM me as well, Bob. I am not a seasoned Alaskan hunter (something I hope to change), but I can get you into some good saltwater fishing next spring/summer. I'd be happy to take you along.
In the mean time, there are plenty of places you can get some range time in. There are two rifle/pistol ranges near Anchorage, and an indoor pistol range in Palmer.
If you are driving up the Alaska Highway (I've done it twice), I recommend getting a few books-on-tape. Listening to a couple of books is a great way to eat up some road. Unlike music, that you can drown out and become sleepy, books require you to pay attention and stay alert.
