Thats kinda what I was thinking,was looking to see if the plant was hanging off the 4 1/2 trap chain,if she can keep the plant alive shes a keeper
And I have ate Agutuk before out in Holy Cross and it will clean the pipes out after you eat 4 bowls of it,tried it with 3 diff, kinds of berries and just strait up,was fairly drunk when I had it but do remeber it was good and the next morning about killed myself in the bathroom LOL

The man cave is in the other room where I keep all my traps,streachers and tools, and do all my skinning. (yes I said skinning in the house)

we buy fur at the kitchen table and store it in one of the bedrooms with trapping supplies we sell.
yes its a mans house

and okie 4 bowls washed down with booze that not a good idea..lol who's house where you at?

Was at Troys house,think his last name is Turner,was out there with Ray Turner

There are a bunch of Turners there in HC..never met Troy

I went and checked the net today the whitefish are running pretty good.

Maybe its not Turner,but he is a big man I do know that and his name is Troy,and he was braggin and complaining at the same time about how the new kitchen aid made it "fluffy" but like to do it by hand,but his wife liked the kitchen aid.
Is that a good size white fish in the pic.?

We use to moose hunt up there years ago before we had moose here,but its been awhile since I have been there so not sure who that could of been.

And that is the size white fish we catch in a 5 1/2" mesh net.they get king salmon size and can be caught in the 8 1/2"
but this is the size I prefer.

Any one ever purchased a rig from Dave Smith Motors in Idaho and had it shipped up to Alaska? Looking at a new rig for the wife and the sales guys here think that what they are selling is built of gold and they need to retire off the commision they seem to think they will make. Time to shop outside the box.

Yes - it was a pleasure and everything went smoothly.

Lyberger and others will match Smith now. Lyberger is in Anc.

Lyberger is what Dealership? How did you handle the shipping up?

Lybergers truck and auto sales in Anc. = 907-349-3343. He is a used vehicle dealer but obtains new from Canadian dealers ( Clusters are changed for mph ) and lower 48 dealers as well. All dealers do it.

The Anc. Ford, Chevy, Chrysler dealers have internet sales departments that offer close to the D.S. price if you ask. Plus the shipping cost - even though it is alleged that dealers pay the same shipping country wide.

If you go with D.S. - he will facilitate shipping and give you a quote. Or you can vacation and drive it back. Ask for Skip.

With people cutting back in this economy, there are a ton of nice vehicles for sale on Craigs list. I know two people selling nice trucks who are not getting any calls. So there should be good deals out there.

I've bought a truck from Lyberger's. Was a great experience to be honest with you. All the ice cream my kids could eat while we waited! I am shopping for a used truck now. Had an idiot hit us up on the Taylor highway a few weeks ago. Near killed us! We lived, but truck is totaled. Can't afford a new one, so shopping for a used Ford f-150 super crew. Got a few on my list, but need to get this insurance thing happening so they can total out my truck, get my loan paid off on it and then buy another to replace it! Sucky process to say the least.

Thanks guys.

Traffic on there must be picking up quite a bit since the last time I made the run up.....!

X2 regarding Lyberger. He actually started D.S. type pricing in Alaska over 10 years ago. The big three dealers in Anc. hate him for it. They tried to stop him . But he has been around a long time , has lots of connections and was the victor - which was good for the consumer.

Pete,

LOL! Only vehicles for 50 miles! A Japanese dude from Florida was heading north and us heading south. Clear night, on the chip seal part of the road, he comes around a corner, I see him fish tail left, corrected to far, front right tires catch the berm where he corrects back to the left, therefore flipping his truck upside down where it proceeds to "fly" through the air into my lane! I had to decide in a millisecond to get hit head on or bite the ditch and hope to avoid it. Well turned hard, and his flying upside down truck caught me in the drivers side door and the rest of the drivers side of the truck forcing us off the road and into the trees! We were fortunate enough to be on the only stretch of highway that doesn't have a cliff or drop off there and actually ended up driving through the trees and back onto the highway once I got control of the truck. Got the truck back onto the highway to see if the other driver was okay. Truck upside down in our lane with crap all over the road. Guy was okay, call with the sat phone and hour and a half later trooper and wrecker show up. We were very lucky. Best part of the story, this clown got our insurance information and filed a claim against us for causing the accident! Said it happened at an intersection. Never ceases to amaze me at how other human's can be total douche's. Guy almost kills us or injures us badly and he lies to our insurance and his.

Wow !

Sure is dangerous to be driving those highways..I use to do the commute out to Eagle river back in the early 80s and after the first inch of snow hit, I could count 40-50 cars in the ditch on that 10 mile strech..and many of those were upside down!..I would rather play with cub grizzleys than have to do that drive again.

glad you and your family came out of it unscathed..hope that guy gets his someday.

Thanks Jeff! It was just nuts! I wanted to beat the crap out of the guy especially when he came up and asked, "what happened"?? I proceeded to tell him what happened with some colorful words, but my wife wouldn't let me out of the truck!

Mike,

Happy to hear that you guy's came out of that OK. I went through a similar situation a few years back, but the other guy wasn't so lucky. Karma will catch up with that idiot.

Ted

The only thing that has changed in the last 30 years, is that now there are 70 to 80 cars in the ditch during the first snow. I've gotten in the habit of taking the day off when the first snow hits. My couch is a lot safer than the Glenn Hwy.
