There are 3,000 caribou about 5 to 15 miles from town right now. But a storm is supposed to be going for the next few days with wind and snow. Would be nice to break in my new ar if the storm quites.

Not much of a job market and housing is out of the world.
Gallon of milk is close to $11.00 and gas is $5.59.
Only way anybody can really make it out here is with 2 people working very good jobs.
If working for FAA or state is only real way.

Wow , I expected higher costs but thats nuts , I just like to be out and away from the "mall culture" , I prefer the company of a good dog or hunting buddy to 10,000 people headed to McDonalds....Been thinking about the outlying areas around Fairbanks as well...I appreciate the info

Could call it the armpit of alaska. But you have to be a little crazy to live here.
I would not live in Anc or the valley. Just to many people.
Plus you can jump in a boat anytime in summer and go anywhere same with snogo.
It takes something different to live out here.

Raven  They have filled almost all the positions. The new chief recruted quite a few from his old department when he came out. So far they are a pretty fair group of officers.

If your name starts with an s and is five letters long, then you should know who I am.

And my ex.


It's a small world and would rather not narrow it down more than that right now.
