when the closest grocery store is 80 miles away....





skiing in to the local grocery store last weekend for supplies. it's only a 50 yard walk to the store from here. i got a better parking spot than most cars

Oh yeah, I'm with you. 130 miles to Fairbanks and 194 miles to Wasilla. Now that things are warming up around here I look forward to driving that highway as little as possible, if you know what I mean.

Give it a few weeks and the Tourist Run will begin. I see the Park is expecting the first busses on the 19th of May. Can't wait for the traffic locally!
If either of you need, we can arrange a tie down & transpo during the year to avoid the drive for groceries.

You guys up there sure have your own unique set of problems to contend with. Sure is a different world than LIberal LA LA land. I envy u!

That is sweet. I'd love to be able to land on skis in front of the grocery store and saunter my liberal ass up to the door.

You sure are lucky. UP, you gonna be up there for a while? Or is the gig a temporary thing?

i'm here until october for sure. not sure if they'll need me to stay any longer than that, yet.

i got checked out on glacier landings today.... i'll have to post some pics later when i have time.... what a kick in the pants


kurt,
we still need to get together and burn some gas. and i might take you up on that runway with a loaner car deal you have going on down there

All I need is a call to go play.
Spent the weekend doing some serious snow machine riding. I'm sore! Triple digits on a 4-stroke. I think I prefer the plane for covering ground.
Ryan, let me know when your available. Is the Village strip good for straight skis still?
