No work won't be a deciding factor. Thanks for the info.I lived in Kodiak for 4 1/2 years and I have to say it was one of the greatest times of my life. What kind of work do you do? Is work a deciding factor for you? Wasilla is very popular for very good reason. You can have the best of both worlds, close enough to the city yet not to close.
The weather is a big factor there. The winters are long and cold, but the summers more than make up for it. Have you taken any trips there? Maybe try some different places on a vacation to get a feel for the area if thats an option. I think Alaska is the greatest place on earth, but thats purely subjective. Good luck with your choice, but it shouldn't be to hard since California sucks a big one.......
Sorry bud just saw this. I am in the Coast Guard, so I got stationed in Seattle. I fully intend on going back to Alaska. I'm thinking Sitka, Cordova, Ketch, or Petersberg, in no particular order. I absolutely LOVE everything about Alaska. The people, the surroundings, the remoteness, the hunting, the fishing, and most noticeably the lack of feeling like "big brother gov't" is watching.AKDmaxParty, how come you don't live there anymore?
Then Alaska is where you want to be :thumb...., but I can't wait to get out of the city and move to a place where I can walk out my front door and pee on a tree without the neighbors getting mad.
