Haha, you are lucky to have seen that. I live in the state and have yet to see the glaciers. Al Gore would have you believe those glaciers will one day be completely gone. Contrary to his global warming theories, Alaska has experienced record cold temperatures last winter in addition to record snow falls the previous. Nearly everyone I've talked to has also said this is the coldest summer they can remember; its only hit 70*F three times thus far.

Those yellow plates are the old school pre-2000's AK plates. My old Tempo has them as well. Personally, I'm not a fan. They look good on my truck but they don't compliment the Tempo's Graphite Gray coat. The current AK plates are a yellow, white, and blue coloring with the silhouette of a mountain range along the middle. Here is a picture of my mom's 2002 Silverado with the 2000's plates.
