It is 4 miles to PO two times a week . I was a major "do what I wanted " for many years ,now I am bound by my old ways in that I live hand to mouth with no spare money to travel .I have no regrets .Life is good . Jesus said ,"give us this day our daily bread ".I am not a burden on the government .Elk ,deer ,potatoes and carrots ! Enjoy the journey folks not just the destination .

The last couple of flying experience in the US were awful. First its TSA who herds you like an animal, nosy about every little thing you carry esp. souvenirs. Then you get thru that the airlines herd you on a plane and stuff you in a seat meant for a child. They throw you a small bag of dry snacks and maybe a drink which they pour out of a bulk bottle. The airplanes are always packed. If you go to a foreign country most people there hate Americans and pretend behind your back they love you because they want your money. I can't say I blame them. Do I want to fly again? Never flying again would be to soon !

You should go to the Eastern shore @ least once in your life. Don't stop @ the Chesapeake Bay and turn around. Go across the bridge and see how rural it gets.

Only been to a couple of neighbor states and that was too far. For the last 10 years I didn't travel any farther then 100 miles from the ranch and home. No need too.

Been to most mid and western states at some time or other, Panama, Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Thailand and mainland China not to mention much of Europe and lived for various times in Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan and Thailand

Go do and see it’s my personal belief that doing so expands one’s viewpoints and gives them a greater understanding and appreciation for what we have here, I enjoyed and in many cases loved where I was and some of the experiences were incredible such as standing at the foot of Mount Everest and climbing to the first station or at the top of Mount Fuji or walking through northern Thailand and having a wild tiger cross the road in front of you and meeting people many of who have become lifelong friends, there’s no amount of money that can buy you such memories you have to earn them by doing

I would recommend that you don’t stay in Anchorage more than 1 day. Get out of the city. I travel thru Anchorage every 3 weeks for work. Alaska is a very good place.

Not sure which one that you refer?

Route 50 is a nice bridge. Hopefully someone that lives on the Eastern shore can chime in.
