We've had no water since Sunday, about 2 hours of electricity a day, no home internet and very bad phone internet. I've burned through a ton of wood that I really didn't want to, but I didn't care for the 40 degree temps inside my house!Yeah I talked to my parents and one of my sister's today.

2 hours to walk 36 houses and back...that's quite the spread or a very slow walkerHired a friend to cinder a road for me. He mailed the invoice Feb. 8th, it arrived today. Took 10 days to go 36 houses, was processed in town so never went to a mailing hub. Takes me just over 2 hours to walk to his house and back.
Well, here we'd say over crowded. Bob's house is 2.75 miles away, so about 5.5 miles with maybe 400 feet of elevation change. I am a slow walker but can move along if purpose imposes. There is also a dozen or more businesses within the span that were not counted and several open spaces with farm fields ponds and woods in the mix. So that should paint a little better picture.2 hours to walk 36 houses and back...that's quite the spread or a very slow walker
If they want to see the Northern Lights I suggest going up to Fairbanks instead of Anchorage but a month from now they may be all gone. As far as what to do, I love fishing but only when all the snow is gone and that won't be until April/May. There are lots of touristy things to do but most of it doesn't start until May. The only fun thing I can think of going on next month is Fur Rondy. Hope that helps. :)@Barb my wife and her mom are going to Alaska next month. Got any must do’s? They are going to anchorage to see the northern lights. She tried to get me to go but hell no after this past week we spent in Texaska. I would love to go in the summer though where the skeeters are as big as the Bush planes
Thanks Barb they are basically base camping it in anchorage and will be flying to Fairbanks and then taking a train back to see the northern lights. I’ll pass the fur rondy to herIf they want to see the Northern Lights I suggest going up to Fairbanks instead of Anchorage but a month from now they may be all gone.
