From and to what area if you don't mind me asking? I'm just making conversation...Former and future Alaskan.
I have lived here for only about 5 years... but I like Alaska a lot, it's a good place and I plan to stay indefinitely. Anyways, I hope you start feeling better, I noticed one of your icons says you're depressed.I lived in Soldotna, Anchorage, and Eagle River as a kid and then spent a couple summers with relatives in Ninilchik as a teen. I plan to move back to the Kenai/Soldotna area. I hope that day isn't too far away. I have lots of relatives on the Kenai Penninsula. Actually, two of them are visiting other relatives in North Pole right now.
I have traveled quite a bit all around the US when I was younger but now that I have a wife and children we tend to stay put more often. We were living in Silver City New Mexico for about 5 years before moving here. Before I had children, I use to hitch-hike and ride freight trains all over, spending only a few months in various places at various times. I'm a lot more settled these days, though I still enjoy traveling. I noticed your profile says you're living in Oregon, I have been through there a few different times... what part of Oregon do you live in.Thank you! May I asked where you lived before Alaska?
