    I remember the Sockeye Fire, a co-worker had to evacuate. I went through that in 1996 when over 400 structures burned in the Big Lake area. I moved a little over a mile 8 years ago and now live on what burned then.

    Although I haven't been up the road from wasilla for a many years now, I really enjoyed this tour of the town and what not. I never did live out there for very long, I have a grandsons who does. Since he and I no longer communicate I won't ruin my name with his. I know when that big fire went through that area, their house burnt down and so residents around there all the way to Anchorage donated and helped them rebuild better than when they first had it. Thanks for that jog through as its just about how I envisioned it to be yet.
