This explains one line of the "poem".

"In the winter time it's the frozen road that is competing with the view of ice fogged frigid beauty, the cold though, doesn't it split the Cheechakos from the Sourdoughs?"

Cheechako: Anyone new to Alaska
Sourdough: Anyone old to Alaska

(It confirms my guess. I was pretty sure that "Sourdough" was an oldtimer, so I guess that Cheechako was someone who someone who was new to Alaska (like a "flatlander" in Vermont))

I thought it was something like that, but wasn't curious enough to look it up. Thanks for doing the research!
