    Default Spring trip

    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

    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.

    And when you are 60 you get free hunt, fishing, and trapping lic. free till you die. Most places like here after 65 you pay no tax on your personal residence. And other tax breaks for those under 65. No state income tax of humans, or most businesses.

    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?

    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)

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