Default Former Coolie Carrier Driver now in AK!

Hey all you hobos! I made it! Crossed into AK 2 hours ago! Currently sitting at Fast Eddy's Restaurant in Tok, AK. Going to eat breakfast then the final 250 miles to Valdez! It's been an awesome trip. Unbelievable!!! I saw Bullwinkle a number of times

I have some pics and stuff to share in a few days. For now....just going to soak it all in. The journey of my life for sure!

First order of business next week: I'm gonna find that grizzly and tell him all about the misdeeds of one GOLFHOBO!

More soon!

Be sure to say hello to a certain private citizen up there for me. I haven't managed to cross paths with her just yet.

Gary is in the North-country chasing Honey!!! :lol2:


Good luck up there G!! :thumbsup: Get settled in and build a nice place for company!! Learn the tricks for catching the best salmon and halibut...then share with visitors in the coming years!!

For catching Dungeness crab....punch holes in a can of the greasiest cat food, stick it in the bait trap of a crab pot, and let it soak for a few hours. This also catches star fish! (Of course...if you make it outside of Prince William Sound....I expect to see pics of you holding your first King crab catch! Opillios *sp* don't count!!)
