Thank you for sharing this. I lived in Palmer for over a decade, and am now temporarily exiled in Texas. I can't wait to get back. I wish I was drinking coffee at Vagabond Blues and gazing up at Mat Peak right now. I miss it so.
Hello Amber, thank you for sharing your best offs:) I will visit Alaska 07-15 October, if you will be motivated to do a hike together it would be awesome. I'll travel to Alaska to celebrate my birthday but as a solo traveler I'm always happy to meet locals. Best regards from Texas, Natalie
What an amazing place! I have family in Ketchikan who we visited this summer and have been trying to talk me into moving there for years, but I've got my sights set on the Matsu valley area. Would you say it's a good place to raise kids? And how is the wind there? I know it can get pretty gusty in Wasilla.
It is the best place to raise your kids, with amazing schools! I’m a teacher, and I have taught in other states. Alaska by far is the best. It does get windy, Palmer more than Wasilla. And we have rain….lots of it, but it is never hard enough to keep you from going outside if you really want to hike or enjoy nature. If you have any other questions, let me know and I’ll do my best to answer them.
Great video! I was wondering how bad the mosquitos are in Palmer in the summer? Does it stop you from going outside sometimes? I am thinking about moving to the Anchorage area and am wondering if this is a myth or a reality residents. Thanks!
Mosquitoes have never kept us from going outside. I grew up in Texas and the mosquitoes are much more crazy there….so it could be a matter of perspective.
We'll be there next week, visiting family. Our first visit! Your video was EXCELLENT! Thank you!
I was in Palmer in March. Was one of my favorite places.

The sz of the vegetables are incredible
The largest pumpkin this year was 2023 lbs.!!!!
This is why I want to move to palmer😂
I lived near Palmer…the winds. When it comes, it comes.
I wish it was cc for all accessibility!
I wish I knew how to do that....I'm just an amateur! Sorry. :(
I cant find the lake you were talking about in the beggining of your video. Did you say Gym Lake?
Jim Lake
It’s at the end of Maud Rd. going toward the Butte.
Thanks, I was wondering the same. Is there a place where you can rent a kayak?
