My house finally sold (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) , set to close at the end of April so I have a month to get outta here.
This means figuring out how to get 3 cars (914 included) and a 3 bedroom house and 3 car garage full of stuff up there without completely breaking the bank. I would like to just fill a container with all the household stuff and the 914 and ship it up there but it seems that prices for that have gone up considerably in the last year. So it may be a uhaul of the Alaska Hwy. We where planning on driving it anyway just with our Rover and Toyota and not a moving truck. I've done the drive about 20 times so that's not a biggie but gas is going to be a killer. We will be moving to Homer on the Kenai penninsula, "the halibut fishing capital of the world". We are planning on opening a Coffee shop/bakery/roaster there. I used to live there and have missed it since the day I left. Open invitation to any club member visiting Alaska to come to Homer and visit. (IMG:http://www.ci.homer.ak.us/rickladd.jpg) (IMG:http://alaska-halibut-fishing-charters.com/images/recordcatch1a.jpg) |

You dog!
Homer is one of my favorite places. I go there and a friend ( a Westie) picks us up in his commercial boat and takes us to his place on Petersons Bay. For you noobs that's straight out from the spit in the picture and in the mountains on the on the far side of the bay- just behind Gull Island. Can see Poot Peak from Captain Bob's place- he raises the worlds best oysters on his floating oyster farm in Peterson's bay. Can you also say mussels boys and girls? Tanner Crab? Last time I was up there, my sister and I caught 8 big ass silver salmon in about 2 hours. Bob knows where to go. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Yep, sitting in the hot tub overlooking Peterson's Bay, sipping a Homer home brew, and watching the bald eagle fish is my idea of heaven...... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) Now I want to go visit my sister and Captain Bob and Pat, and wear my Peterson's Bay hat, and see the yellow teener in Anchorage again, and.....and..... Oh yeah, Bobs wife Pat has a sister who runs Teacups- one of the local eateries. Ken |
