wow...nice story!..and thanks for sharing...and sorry i assumed you were a dude.
i'm the biggest alaska fanatic that you will ever meet...most alaskans have a hard time keeping up w/ my knowledge of the state.
not sure how u can stand los anchorage, but it's closer to alaska than i am right now...lol.
honestly tho...i'd take anchorage any day of the week compared to anywhere in the lower 48.
i just need a place out in the bush....and not too far out, but i really do wanna be farrrrrrr out.
all i need is a small place to live, hunt, fish, grow weed, and be left alone....shouldn't be too much to ask right????
i almost bought a nice place between talkeetna and willow about 3 miles trail off the parks hwy....stayed there 3 nights in february as was required by the seller....(i can't sleep to the sound of a snowmachine racetrack)....couldn't have any income in there area at the time anyway.
seward was nice, but the seasonal housing there killed us...we lived in a tent, and mostly in the bed of my truck when it rained for 6 months because of no housing..and we both had full time jobs...me for a small boat, my x-gf for kenai fjords np.
...alaska knoked me down quite a few times, but i still want back baaaaad!

Well I grew up in the Seattle area out towards Issaquah in what used to be the country. I married a SE Alaska boy and when Seattle got out of control and we decided didn't want ti be suburbanites but couldn't afford the city he took a job as a float/bush pilot in SE. Since then we moved about the state for flying jobs. Ketchikan, Juneau, Fairbanks and lastly Anchorage. Of course I'd always said I didn't want to live in anchorage so here we are. I should know better by now than to say what I don't want lolAnyhow. I used to be a labor and delivery nurse but after having my last one at home I decided I couldn't be apart of the lie anymore and never went back. Now I'm an artist and I teach, which is what I wanted to do before I had to make a choice but didn't :-/ My husband is a medivac pilot and base manager for what used to be Providence's Lifeguard Alaska and now is LifeMed.Susitna Drainage would be part of the Mat-su valley no? It's beautiful out there. I can't hack the wind though. I'd never go outside--literally! So you will cabin squat and then build your own? If I was to do a cabin.....I'd do strawbale! It'd be awesome
...and property i'm looking at is almost all in the susitna drainage area....
...i've a cpl friends from grow forums that are THC (turnigan hardcore) ... and have a cpl offers thru them to cabin squat for a while in winter where they film.
what looks like rain is snow finally melting off the roof....i'm at a lil over 10,000 feet in colorado....up above evergreen/conifer area.
elke...to ans. your question i work a cpl miles from home here for a custom manufacturing company as a production mgr.
i lived mostly in seward area, and worked on halibut/b.cod long liners....i lived in kodiak for a while and almost got on a crabber in 2007 until my 2 best friends died in harbor on a boat fire....my g/f at the time said no bueno. i also lived in kasilof/soldotna area. where u from bro?
