You would have to travel through Canada when driving from Seattle, Washington to Anchorage, Alaska. The most common route would take you through the Canadian province of British Columbia and then through the Yukon Territory before reaching Alaska.

The mountainous terrain surrounding Juneau Alaska causes large variations in average rainfall,snow and windspeeds. Oragraphic processes,ie- upslope flow ,funneling of winds and other orographic effects,common throughout all mountainous regions,are enhanced in and near Juneau by the citie's realitive nearness to the gulf of Alaska.Downtown Juneau receives over 80 inches of rainfall yearly while the airport less than 30 miles north receives less than 60 inches annually.Downtown Juneau,rainfall is increased on average because it lies in a region of upsloping winds ,which increase cloudcover and enhance rainfall.The airport,in contrast lies in a region generally prone to downsloping airflow,thus rainfall is decreased.

Juneau' mountainous topography also leands to interesting variations in windspeeds.A realitively small part of the city expeareances the infamous Taku winds.The Taku winds,which can reach hurricane intensity,are caused by north-northeasterly winds funneled through the Meadenhal valley which lies north of town.The Taku winds have been known to reach speeds of over 100 mph and last for three or more days! Reaserch concerning the geography and climate of SE Alaska is ongoing.

The highest mountain peak in the United States is Denali which used to be called Mount McKinley. It is 20,310 feet (6,190 m) above sea level. Denali is located in Alaska.

Louisiana would fit inside Alaska approximately 2.6 times. Alaska is the largest state in the United States, with a total land area of about 663,300 square miles, while Louisiana has a land area of about 52,400 square miles.

The island that runs between Alaska and extends toward Asia is called the Aleutian Islands. This chain of volcanic islands stretches for about 1,200 miles and marks the boundary between the Bering Sea to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south.

The Visitor's Center at Portage Glacier is named after Nick Begich, Sr from Alaska and Hale Boggs from Louisiana. Begich was running for Alaska's lone seat in the US House and Boggs was a Congressman. Begich and Boggs were both passengers in a small plane that went down somewhere in the North Pacific Ocean in the early 1970s.

depends on how realistic you want to get, 1)wire, cotton Balls, Spray paint. or 2) a fish tank of water (10 gal plus) cloud the water and shine a light through the tank at say 45* angle. or a laser pointer moving side to side. might get the desired effect. I lived up North at the Peace River for over 4 years and would often sit in my car and watch the Northern Lights dance across the sky. I still can't get over the beauty of it. I suggest you use shards (uneven pieces of colored plexiglass or colored shards of mirrors) each piece glued (with glass glue) at uneven angles length-wise and put a strobe light affect behind them giving them a vision of colors dancing into each other. Or use the above and a colored multi-colored strobe light behind clear shards of plexiglass of glass. P.S. Shards are uneven pieces of plexiglass or glass with semi-sharp edges.

Look for an intake manifold plenum gasket leak. This causes engine oil to be sucked into the intake. Useually a ping under load will be present. Check to see if a vacume is prisent in the crankcase at idle. Do this test by removing the pcv vale on the pasenger side of the engine pluging the hole in the valve cover and installing a vacume-pressure gauge to the hose connected to the air cleaner on the driver side. If a vacume present gasket is bad. If there is positive pressure present it's ok. If you don't have the gauge you can use your finger to cover the hose on the driver side for a couple of seconds to detect the vacume or pressure. The gauge is by far the better way to go. I found the price to have this work done was around 750.00 at general auto repair shops and 1,000.00 at the dealer. If you go to a auto repair shop I would suggest that you still use dealer parts. They have a repair kit that has new gasket and bolts included. I think you can get a new replacement pan made of aluminum as well to replace the old tin one. If you havent done a tune-up lately its the perfect time to get to the distributor. Good luck

Yes, and it's multifaceted.

Whites historically forced the local indigenous peoples to learn English and they were also discouraged from speaking their own languages and practicing their traditions.

Today there are numerous large native corporations around the state that legally discriminate against non-natives by hiring people from their own tribes instead of non-native candidates who may be better qualified.
