Does anyone want to go on a real adventure? Spring time in south east Alaska is outstanding. Any kayakers out there? I took the ferry up a time or two its the ONLY way to travel SE Ak. Four out of the 5 or so voices in my head keep saying come back.....come back.......The other two just say......... why can't i shoot stupid people?... So I think I'll listen to the majority and just go back in the spring.
If your idea of adventure is --A Knife & a spare shirt--
don't apply
I hope you have fun.
I lived in juneau for a couble years and all I hear every day in my head is come back it is the mose beautiful place you will ever see one fish fills your freezer .I live in the mountians 6 month and loved it . you also get payed to live there and you can get your hunting and fishing lic. for $.25 if you live off the land.
What do you mean "you also get payed to live there"?
Oil dividends.
thats right they pay you after you live there a year every one in the house gets a check .I think it was 4 year ago a friend got 5,ooo for each member of his family.
Wow, I thought that you had to have resided there before the pipeline was completed. A Mormon family of 42 would do alright, if they grew and raised their own food...
I don't remember it ever being $5,000. I've seen it almost $2,200. This year it's going to be just over $2,000 plus $1,200 for the high cost of fuel. The Gov. also just suspended the $0.8 state fuel tax for a year. You can read all about it online. Just look up Alaska permanent fund dividend.Quote:

The down side is that Anchorage has 300,BILLION people.
Alaska also gives life time hunting/fishing lic. to disabled military veterans.
Hope are you sure the population of Anchorage is 300 Billion?:D
No, but it sure seems like it to a geriatric sourdough.........:)Quote:

Oh, I can see that conversation....
"Where ya from?"
"Chicken"
"Whaddya call me? Why you dirty...."
So if you live in the bush 60 miles west of Chicken, and you are just visiting, why the big conversation in your head aobut going to Alaska this spring? Could it be that 2 of the 5 voices like the warmern weather? (before you get upset - I was kidding. Got no reason to doubt you when you say you're from AK)Quote:

Skeeters in Florida? Maybe you should look into a good pest control service.
