Looking to move

Holy cow! That's whatcha call "out there!" But really sounds awesome.

Yes I'm really interested... Had my 2nd conversation with the seller this afternoon about mineral rights. The property has never been mined, nor sampled.

You would freeze to death in Alaska! My friend lived there for a couple years, he loved it. Had to drive a snowmobile to work all winter.

Alaska is the definition of cold and Alaska although beatuful, it's always trying to kill you.

Yes, pretty much! I couldn't handle the dark winters personally.

Stock up on vitamin D3 I guess... They say the sun rises in the south and sets in the south during winter. Yes 4weeks of no sun would be really weird. Talk about cabin fever!

How would you survive without your gardening?????


Alaska wouldn't be a place I could live -- too cold for me. But that's just my personal comfort issue.

They garden in Alaska. It is a completely different set of rules though. There seems to be alot of information on the web to help.

I've decided I won't move anywhere with grizzly bears, wolves or an active cougar population. Or tornadoes. Or venomous snakes.

I think I'm stuck in NH

Well, I know they garden there BUT....depending on the area, they have really, really short season. Greenhouses a plus (must?). And Crealcritter is into a huge garden, long season. Could be a drastic change for him.

So -- CC -- what section of Alaska is this potential goldmine? From what little you mention -- sounds like you MUST be self sufficient to survive as I got the impression that access is limited. I know that snowmobiles are more valuable than cars in some areas, as in "necessity" for travel.

I like a challenge but, some things are not on my "bucket list". Do like to read about others though.

ETA: That's a beauty of a cabbage!!
