About the blog: Alaska is a wonderful and fascinating place. Whether its backcountry hiking, coastline kayaking or dining on a downtown deck, there truly is something for everyone. This blog picks up where the annual Daily News Visitors' Guide leaves off. The guide is published in late April, but that's just when summer fun starts heating up. Throughout the year, we hope to give readers a look at Alaska through local eyes. The blog also serves as a calendar of what's going on, a place to look for some outstanding vacation deals and other cool stuff. We invite your comments and your questions. E-mail me at alaskology@adn.com.
About me: I live in Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, and I'm the special sections editor at the Anchorage Daily News. My wife and I have been Alaska residents since 2000 and never plan to leave.

For the second year in a row, I'm out of the state when the Daily News' annual Visitors' Guide hits the streets. It'll be in readers' hands Saturday. It's a bit anticlimactic to spend months working on a project and then not be there to see it come out.
I'm pretty sure there will be some left when I return to Anchorage in a few days. Be sure to check out alaska.com/visit for the scoop on what to do in Alaska this summer.
