Hmmm, EKM, when I "get directions" from my house to AK., it shows the mileage as 3254 miles, then I added the approx. 150 air miles to Stoney River Lodge to come up with the approx. 3500 miles.
Your figure of 2650 must be all air miles? I guess I'm missing how to get that figure from that link.

Howler, my bad.... no airline miles, just a screw up on my end.... bad math.
I hadn't figured out the "add the word 'distance' "into the search at that point, and I hadquickly counted up a rough 3,500 to Anchorage in my mind, butin between switching from GoogleMaps and "HN edit"it "dropped" to 2,500 and I then added the 150 for 2,650....
Anyhow, you are official at your corrected version of3,500.... yeah, you don't get anywhere near Alaska with just 2,500 miles (from Colorado).
================================================== =
Range 700 to 4,700.

Chicago to Vancouver by plane, black bear.
NM elk, 24hrs drove straight through from chicago, funny when you leave your trip at noon and arrive home at noon.
Africa/Alaska to come!
