Heat Wave 2014

Well, we say that 30 below keeps the "riff raff" away.....But in all honesty, I've been here since '69, and consider it home. The winters don't bother me. And like most folks who love where they live, I think of it as "God's country". I will take my "frozen hell" over the overpopulated lower 48 any day of the week. Every time I go down, I'm very thankful to come back. I was just enjoying a meal of silver salmon that we caught down in Valdez this August. Things like that make it very worthwhile. Plus, no stupid gun laws......I can enjoy my M-2 browning anytime I want.

You do make a couple of good points.

I guess I'm the minority, then...I've always thought New York sucks...One reason why I enlisted back in in '69...I was stationed in SoCal for a year; loved it...But the traffic was bad even then...Then I spent 10 weeks in Philadelphia...Great town; people are pro-military, even then [Viet Nam]...Since then, I've been to/visited/stayed for weeks in Nevada, Texas, both Carolinas, as well as a couple other states and foreign countries...Right now, I'm counting the weeks until my mortgage is paid off...Then, I think it's either Arizona or Texas...I have good friends in both, and really enjoyed my time in that area...

There is at least one service out there that rents RVs by the week; you can fly out, drive around, and fly back home...Or, I suppose, stay...
