    Might be too far from Anchorage, but Haines is very close to me. Four hours by road if the construction isn't too heavy--the Haines Highway is always under some kind of construction. In fact, if you want to shop for anything that isn't touristy, Whitehorse is the closest centre! PM me and I'll send you my contact info in case we make it there or you make it over here!

    Haines is one of my favorite places. I don't get to go very often as getting away is very difficult! Maybe this summer for a weekend. You'll love it there...here's a couple pics from our last trip in August 05.

    Kayaking--Haines has spectacular kayaking opportunities!

    Chilkoot Lake, 5 minutes from town.

    Stuart trying to land a salmon from a kayak at the mouth of the Chilkoot River--fantastic fishing and bear viewing(You will get bear awareness training right? Bears frequently wander right into town!)

    The Haines Highway

    The marina in town.

    The Rainbow Glacier, taken from a friend's boat, but I think it's visible in spots from shore.

    Sorry it's taken me so long to respond everyone!

    Yes my camra is going to be my best friend while I'm in Alaska, as you can tell from Glacier's AMAZING pictures everything there is absolutly breath takeing! I can't wait to see it all, do it all. I wish I was leaving today

    carole - From what I understand the guy to girl ratio is exactly what you think it is.

    CathyBogart - Congrats on the internship!!! I wasn't even looking for mine and it fell right into my lap. It was amazing! I can't even tell you how blessed I feel to have this oportunity!

    carole ~ Sorry, I just saw this. Yes, there are more men than women in Alaska. But, as my "thingy" (See Location at the top-right of my posts) says -- THE ODDS ARE GOOD, BUT THE GOODS ARE ODD. There is a very good reason why these men are still single! Many strange ducks up here. Some on the run from wives and kids and the law.....

    Also, Men in Tree's is filmed in Canada. Most "Alaskan" stories are.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Congratulations Ashley, what a wonderful opportunity! Creating the bald eagle habitat sounds so very cool!

    And, I'm a little jealous because one of my absolute favorite PTers will be so close by...

    Congratulations. This sounds like an amazing opportunity for you and a marvelous adventure. And just think, you'll be as close to Pet Talk as always. Don't schedule yourself too tightly. You want to have enough time to enjoy all the sights of your new location while you are there. Keep us posted and let us enjoy this with you.
