"Alaska has about 365 million acres of land. Of that, only about 160,000 acres has been cleared, built on, or otherwise directly affected by people" Great Land of Alaska - Facts and Trivia As many of you know I live in Alaska and I love it MOST of the time. I have lived here for over 18 years and have seen VERY little of it. (Lots of different reasons but we won't get into that right now.) In an effort to learn a little more about the State in which I reside I decided to do a little research and I came across a very informative and enjoyable site. It is maintained by a fellow named Douglas Gates.
