PrivateerFan_61, Welcome to TLR. Alaska is just a story line system. However, there are mods that will alow you to go there. Since this could be considered a spoiler, it will be moved to the spoiler forum soon. Welcome again.

Yes there is a path through Zone 21. Though you will need mods to acess Alaska.

When you get to the Battleship Missouri, fly directly to Zone 21 and stop just before you hit the mines. Travel along it towards the Texas system and watch carefully. The gap should soon become apparent.
Hope this helps

Moving to spoiler forum.

Actually, the path through the mine field is quite easy to find. Just line your ship up so that it is directly in front of the jumpgate and then you can cruise to the jumpgate.

Cancel the Trade Lane at the third ring out from the Missouri towards the Texas Gate. From there, you should hit the passage right on the nose.

The way to Alaska is an ancient and guarded secret. This may help, or maybe not.

While Dr. Sinclair was excavating the Dom Kavosh site on Pygar, she discovered an ancient scroll about 6 inches wide, encased in a tiny titanium cylinder which in in turn was sealed in an ancient mayonnaise jar. When the jar was unsealed and the cylinder was opened, the scroll fell out. What follows is a translation of that scroll:

The treaty was signed on the deck of Big Mo,
To that place you first must go,

Three gates there are toward the Lone Star,
Not two nor four but three

Five One a clue, F one another
Heed my words for they are true my brother

Turn your face to the east and not the west
Have courage my son for this is the test

The goal is at hand and the prize is in sight,
Turn thou not to the left nor the right

Straight as an arrow make your course true
Set your face as a flint and you will pass through

My ditty is full and My riddle is done
Put a smile on your face This is just for fun

Mayonnaise jar but what about this vegimite jar. what directions to the monkey planet, damn.
