    I can't get over how beautiful Alaska is. The only thing keeping me here where I am right now is that my parents are still alive. Once they are gone,I think I need to strike out and find my place where I am happiest. I hope everything fits into place for you String 🙂

      I came up 42 years ago. I figure I was up here the great years when the oil money was good for both the people and the state. We were kids in our 20s making 3-4 times our age. We’d fly Seattle to watch games, ski weekends, back country canoeing and fishing,river rafting.......Ahh to be young again.

    The transport ride from Seattle to Sitka on the water was the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen..

    Oh I have stood in that very same spot at the valley bus stop thousands of times. Frozen my arse off for many hours over the years. Glad I don't have to anymore.
    Even spent every weekend hiking all over Palmer and surrounding areas, used to camp in the park in front of the river behind the cemetery there.

    So now that you are in Alaska, what are your plans, find a job, settle down. I recommend you go to work on the Railroad, I am sure that they would rather have you as a conductor than as a freight passenger. Stay safe, shout out if you need anything!
