I demand an Alaskan now!

Sorry, I was at a movie.

If you want to move up here, go for it. Housing prices in the Anchorage and Eagle River area are ridiculous, or at least they were the last time I checked. If you don't mind living out as far as Chugiak you might be able to get something cheaper. It is about five miles from Eagle River, and about twenty miles from Anchorage.

I lived in the Chugiak area from 1975 to 1985, I believe it has been annexed by Anchorage for taxation purposes now.

But on the other hand, it's getting awfully crowded here for my tastes. So please stay away.

LMFAO. I love how your whole post was encouraging, and then this. :p

To make it to Alaska, one of the most popular routes is right through my town in Northern Alberta. Beautiful drive ... if you make it eventually, let me know! :)

Here are some pictures I just took today to wet your appetite. My son and I hiked up the Harding Ice Field trail next to Exit Glaicer in Keni Fijords National Park where we live. The Harding Ice Field is miles and miles of ice left over from the ice age, the largest ice field in North America. The elevation is 3400 feet. My son is nine years old and it was his first time hiking this far up. He did it as if he'd been doing it all his life. Needless to say I'm proud of my son today!

HardingIceField03

That last one is looking out over the glaicer valley from where we started our hike. You can see the top of the glacier in the lower right hand corner.

What's the temperature difference between where you took that last pic and the foot of the mountain? There looks to be a lot of green down there

In either case, I think Chicago winters are brutal enough. Alaska might be a nice vacation/cruise spot in the summer, but I sure as hell aint moving up there :p

I have an ex-daughter-in-law that seems to sleep around somewhat located in Kodiak.
