    I was stationed at elmendorf as an Air Force nurse in 1976-1978. Boy has Anchorage changed. We didn’t have a mall then and Eagle River had just a few homes. Loved the skit your sons did. So funny.

    THANK youuu. Just moved here and watched your content B4 moving and it was very helpful. Though I'm a city person, in mAh heart, but love the woods and trail running. But I've extrapolated the gems from your videos to figure out where to land.
    Again, thank you for your videos! This one is SUPER helpful after having lived here for a month. Keep kicking ass.

    Thank you so much for all the Eagle River footage. So much has changed since I lived in Mt View and Eagle River in 1970's. The drive into Anchorage used to be so hazardous coming across the river, hair-raising for sure.

    The oil and vinegar store is always a favorite for my husband and I. I buy a smoked olive oil and put my roasted garlic in it in the fridge for a few days and then spread the garlic and oil as a base for my pizzas, sooo good. The oil and vinegars are also good for get together s for ppl to dip breads into. I love giving ppl a few choices and watch as they are surprised and excited by them.

    Thank you so much for letting us in on you're fun day, it is very enjoyable and keep up the great work. I am so glad I found you and letting us learn about Alaska. I have two boys who are 7 and 13 so I understand about just getting into the teen years and how him and his younger brother have been trying to get along, but it is tough for now. When they are older probably both of them will get along better, we shall see. My family are also a hunting family, my dad would get a bull elk with a bow every year for our meat and we all fished and camped too so we have quite a bit in common. Thanks and have a blessed day and evening!
