If so, as far as I know in Single Player, Alaska is locked after you get thru the Main Story, sorry. If you play the Discovery version though, it is open, and you can get there from NY, (Zone 21), or through Conneticuit, or Omicron Minor.
Thank you so much for the help. I do have the Discovery Mod installed and I really enjoy it. It has the right combination of new things without dragging down the original style and spirit of the main game. I have only had the game for a couple of months, enjoying the single player game. I'm looking forward to start getting into the online game. I'm going to continue reading all the great posts here to help me get started the right way.
Thank you once again for your help and to everyone here for all the great posts.
