Alaska!

[LightHearted]

Where are my fellow Alaskans?

 

[sr. scholls]

Woo hoo! I'm right here!

 

[LightHearted]

I meant to ask you... How was Fairbanks?

 

[onecrazycowgirl]

I'm from Washington and I know several people that have moved down here from there - does that count?

 

[sr. scholls]

Meh, works for me Gimpy. Hehe

Oh, the Fairbanks trip was good, nearly died on the way back home though due to a blizzard! Snow was a real treat too.....no snow yet in the valley; it's been raining. *sigh*

 

[LightHearted]

Glad you made it home safely. I've driven that highway many times. It's not so fun in the winter.

 

[sr. scholls]

Nope. The 6 hour drive turned into an 8 hour one..(perhaps more...felt like an eternity) Heh...

 

[TCapp]

Hey neighbors! --from the Yukon...

I go to Alaska quite often, most specifcally... Skagway.

 

[LightHearted]

Sara - Funny... I thought that the drive was supposed to take 8 hours. (My parents drove reaaaaally slow when I was a kid.) When I made the drive on my own, it took me a little under six hours. I guess I was driving a little fast.

Hi TCapp! I've never been to Skagway before. Is there anything fun to do there?

 

[TCapp]

You betcha. You could drive over to Dyea, and hike the Chilkoot Pass (takes a few days). Or ride on the White Pass and Yukon Route (narrow guage) railroad. Or ride the ferry to Juneau. Or just enjoy the scenery. It is so pretty. It is a small town, for sure, but not without opportunties.

 

[sr. scholls]

Heh, I've been very very close to Skagway--I used to live in Juneau, a few years ago they were talking about running a tunnel from Juneau into Skagway; woulda been nice too...but they decided against it because Juneau's economy pretty much rests on tourism. I'm been to Wrangell though, pathetically small! Lol..

 

[LightHearted]

I've done a lot of traveling from Homer to North Pole, but not much aside from there. I would love to go to Barrow or Nome.

 

[TCapp]

I've also been to Tok. Nice little place.

 

[LightHearted]

I've been through Tok. Driven the Alcan (the Alaska Highway) twice. What a loooong drive!

 

[sr. scholls]

Haha, I think I've been to Tok! Yes, any highway in Alaska is a long one lol, save maybe the Glenn--err....unless that one stretches to Kenai as well haha.

Btw, I found some more Alaskans! They need to see this thread Wooo! AK UNITE!

 

[LightHearted]

will_wait4Him is from Wasilla, too.

 

[sr. scholls]

Hehe, I know! We used to go to the same church before he moved to Texas.

 

[LightHearted]

Awesome. Did you learn about the forums through him? (or the other way around?)

 

[sr. scholls]

Hmm...I think we all found it about the same time, actually. We were all registered on the LBMB and gracefully moved over here when it started to fall apart hehe. I like it here alot better anyways.

 

[LightHearted]

I came here from LBMB, too.
