Did we sell Alaska overnight? ;)
What continent do you think AK is on?
Alaska is indeed the “continental” United States.
However, it is not part of the “contiguous” United States.
I climbed the highest mountain in the contiguous United States. It is in CA. It was not that hard.
However, the highest mountain in the entire “continental” United States is in Alaska, and kills folks trying to climb it. It is way higher and colder.
I am very careful when I tell folks I climbed the highest mountain, to lead them to believe I am a bad ass, when in reality I am not.
