WORTH THE TROUBLE

 

We saw this sign as we pulled into Northern Lights Campground, Glenallen Alaska (but we stayed there anyway.)   

Northern Nights Glenallen

 

There definitely ARE mosquitos in Alaska and the campground hosts here had the right idea — you might as well laugh about it!   It was a very nice well-run place to stay.)   And (like pretty much everywhere else in the State) the scenery in the area was  well worth a little inconvenience — and a little bug spray.

Here is some of what we saw just before and after we stayed at this particular campground:

  1. We still have mosquitos in the house! Silly…

  2. That is one funny sign, yes, they must be all married then 🙂
    Great camping site as for the view is magnificent.

  3. Most definitely worth the annoyance of some single-minded mosquitoes, Sallie.

  4. Such grand landscapes in Alaska. Adore the mosquito sign. I just wonder “married to what”?

  5. I’m loving that sign! That’s some awesome scenery, too.

  6. Great sign! Those views are something. It would take a lot of will power to leave there and return home.

  7. Ha, great sign.

  8. lovely views!
    here in Scotland we have midges, which can be a real menace…

  9. hahahha. Great sign! I’m glad it didn’t keep you away.

  10. Yes … when you cannot change the facts you might as well get a really good laugh. What a clever sign and very informative about what to expect!

  11. Another brilliant sign you found Sallie. They should maybe add “but although they are married they do like to play around at times”.
    Re your comment on my blog – from Wiki – The tits, chickadees, and titmice constitute Paridae, a large family of small passerine birds which occur in the northern hemisphere and Africa. Most were formerly classified in the genus Parus.
    These birds are called either “chickadees” (onomatopoeic, derived from their distinctive “chick-a dee dee dee” alarm call) or “titmice” in North America, and just “tits” in the rest of the English-speaking world.

  12. Thank you. The sign gave me a laugh.

  13. Gotta’ love it!

  14. Ha ha – brilliant sign! I can imagine the mosquitoes are huge in Alaska!

  15. I have heard of the bug problem in Alaska. I wish I didn’t know about it…I’m a wuss when it comes to bugs…I know the views are amazing.

  16. I LOVE the sign!

  17. LOL, now that is very nice of them to tell you about the absence of mosquitoes.

  23. They are nasty varmits! Beautiful area though.

  24. Lol! And the scenery is beautiful.

  25. I have heard the mosquitoes in Alaska can carry off a child. BIG! Beautiful photos.

  26. Married huh..lol SC lifted the ban on same sex marriage yesterday I wonder if I could marry my sister then be added to her health insurance? I could see people “hooking up” legally just to make life easier…heck if its legal why not? anywho…OH the mosquitoes in Alaska came from Texas they’re so big!

  27. oh, that made me laugh!

  28. Funny sign and beautiful campground. The photo to which you referred in your comment was taken awhile back. It’s 34 degrees at the moment! I’m going to have to move to a warmer climate for sure!

  29. I’ve heard the mosquitos will carry you away if you let them!

  30. Thanks for sharing the sign, it’s a hoot and I love the sense of humor. Beautiful scenery. Would dearly love to get up to Alaska one day.

  31. I had heard that there are a few mosquitos and black flies in Alaska. The Inuit have the right idea, dressing the same in summer and winter. Great scenery.

  32. Great sign. If open only for 4 months-weather permitting-they go to a lot of trouble!
