    Getting 30 mpg on the highway

    I grew up in Alabama.... Read about alaska when I was probably 9 years old and always wanted to live here. Life happened and my parents ended up moving us up here when I was 16. Hated it for a bit cause I was a stupid angst-y highschooler.

    Got my shit together and went to college up here... financially worked out great. Took out no student loans :D I work as a Civil Engineer for the State DOT. Oversee construction shit in the summer. Chill in the office and take care of paperwork...

    I will say Alaska is not exactly what my 9 year old self expected. But it is exceeding my expectations.... If you love winter and the outdoors you will love it.

    @Ghost. I bet he could, but I'd watch him close the higher you get. There are a few steep drop-off points and whatnot.

    Worst case, youll just have to turn around early :)

    Ugh. I am allowed to hike flat things. For like an hour. So we hiked powerline for 2 hours last night. I am strictly forbidden from flattop... or even blueberry hill... for now. Hoping for early april being cleared to do most things. Skiing is out for the season for sure though :( 6 months from surgery for that.... Surgery was mid Dec....

    Meahhh.. I think im better already. :D

    My Doc and PT say under no circumstance may I hike anything not flatish (they specifically said no flattop... and no bluberry hill...), rock climb, downhill ski, cross country ski, run, or have any fun. I asked. Specifically. For all of those....
