Hello and Welcome!!
Alaska That's in the US right?(Just kidding AS, Sourdough who is in Alaska, does this to everyone in the lower 49*. I have been WAITING for someone from Alaska to join the Forum)
* Technically all the other 49 states are Lower(further south) than Alaska. I never could understand why it was always referred to as the "Lower 48". Just because Hawaii is not attached?
In my intro I mentioned I currently live on a road. It is a little over a mile long with 5 other families on it. This is the view from the end of my driveway and there is no development on my side of the road so the woods seen at end of road extends to within ten feet of my back door. No houses, no roads, afew logging trails but then nothing. Going the other direction the road leads to a highway I take to work.Originally Posted by Sarge47
So how far are you from the nearest road?

Beautiful !!!!
Nice view!! Do you have horses or cattle? I noticed the "Pasture fencing".
Not really sure why. It might be because Alaska is the 49th state and the say got started before Hawaii was a state. Just a guess.
Hello and welcome!
Recession; A period when you go without something your Grandparents never heard of.
That is my neighbor, he has horses and mules. The whole area is a small farming community. It fits all the criteria for a "Life boat community".
How far are you from Tom William's "Raindeer Farm".........???
Sourdough, Do you know half of Alaska?
A couple of miles on the other side of highway. My wife is friends with them and a little closer to thier moose than I comfortable with.

Speaking of Tom Williams is the other one still in Hope?
Hello and welcome.
Great pictures AS - glad you stopped by, hope you stay.

Tom Williams was one of my lawyers when I lived in "Buzzard Gulch" aka Eagle River, Alaska. I spent about SIX years in court with FDIC. Well not with them per say, more {FDIC vs. Me} it was a sucky time in my life.

Naw, I was just aggravating you Sourdough. It just seems that everyone here that is from Alaska, you either know, or know their "Neighbor" or someone fairly close by them.
I am talking about the Tom Williams that was on the Donahue show trying to get mail order brides for his mining crew. He had the Pay Streak mine and when played out built an old style mining town as a tourist trap. It was at the end of Resurection creek road just past the recreational mining area. I heard it burned down. It has been a long time since I lived in Hope but that guy was such a character you must have heard of him even if he is not around any longer.
Welcome, it's nice to have you.
Look forward to your posts & pics.
Thanks all for the warm welcome.
I took the Mother-in-law there around Thanksgiving last year. Pretty cool place.
Alaska to Florida, for how long, who knows...
