First off, let me say Happy New Year! I hope everybody has a good 2009 and enjoys the Camping Gear Stores blog. To start 2009 off, Camping Gear Stores blog is going to profile the camping equipment stores in Alaska.
Alaska has some of the most beautiful scenery, making it a perfect place to set up your camping gear and enjoy the wilderness. As you know, Alaska can get cold so make sure you bring warm clothes!
