Alaska

Why is it snowing in September?

 

Because God decided he is going to make up for all the shitty winters in the past! I am so stoked for this winter, have a feeling it is going to be GREAT.

 

HOW IS THE FISHING NOW IN AK

 

Not good at all this year

 

Not sure if i posted this already, but hello to the other AK guys (and perhaps gals). Looks like most of you are up in Squarebanks. I can get away with saying that after having lived in North Pole for 10 years as a kid. THANK GOD as a kid. haha

 

How come there is no snow on the ground but a damn rock has managed to find its way to my windshield already?

 

You guys need to figure out a way to rep Tacos on Ice Road Truckers, Ford is taking all of the glory, one of the DOT guys was using a Raptor as a work truck, I'm sure that happens all the time, lol.
Sorry if I threadjacked anything!

 

Yea, for the most part people in AK LOVE their american brand trucks, ESPECIALLY up north. But, i must say i've noticed A LOT more 2nd gen tacomas and tundras in the past few years than times past. Maturity maybe? haha

 

x2. I just saw two raptors today as well as 100 other f150's. There's a ton of mall crawlers up here!

 

Niice! Definitely some awesome fishing up here. You gotta check out AK in the winter man, unless you don't partake in any of the activites like skiing/snowmachining. Nonetheless though, it's beautiful in the winter! (but extremely cold between January and February, don't visit during those months.)

 

If anyone is looking for a project grill there are two on craigslist right now.

I am thinking about getting one of these and doing a Satoshi on it.

 

I just moved to fairbanks from spokane washington this summer and am goin to uaf. Picked up a tacoma from anchorage once I got up here. Any of you guys know any good spots or trails to take the tacoma or have any meets or anything up here?

 

Just got my '09 Double Cab. Lovin' the super white. Working on my "to do list" for it right now.

 

Got my 2010 White DC TRD Off Road a month ago and love it. Not many places to ride around here in Petersburg but will take what i can get here on this Island.

 

I saw an SR5 Black Tacoma go through my area today, with AK plates... I immediately thought of TW.

 

Hey you guys that live in Alaska, I will probably be moving up twords the north slope in a few years. What do you guys do for fun up there, i have never been to alaska let alone up northern Alaska. I hear there is not many people (or women) around up north. Figured you guys would know best.

 

its not something you will notice, when you say north slope area i think of a rural area....I have worked on the north slope and have driven to fairbanks and there really is nothing inbetween but pump stations and within 100mi. of fairbanks there are a few small area's with people living with them. If you do come up, 4x4 is almost mandatory, block heater, battery warmer, and possible oil pan heater will be much wanted items for your truck. I know there are a few towns up north, Barrow and surrounding villages with fewer than 300 people in most. i just googled weather in Barrow alaska and the temp is -20 without wind chill. The year I worked up on the North Slope i saw and worked in -57 f. and with wind chill it was minus 82 degrees.. Dress warm my friend.

snowmaching is a favorite past time, sno boarding, etc.........anything related but i hated riding up north because frost bite is a bitch in that cold tempature.

 

What about in Fairbanks as far as people? I know theres a college up there, when I think of Alaska I think of small villages with little eskimo families and such haha. As far as the things to do that you listed I love all of them, and am a avid hunter.

 

fairbanks you might like then, mostly caucasian, its small has great area's to hunt> has most of the department stores like most city's. hot summers, cold ass winters. Its a great place for both extremes. Im going to guess about 45,000 people live there, big military presence there. great club scene.......not much else i can say as i have only worked there on occasion on all the military bases and it keeps getting better all the time.

 

Thanks bob that makes me feel alot better about moving up there in a few years.
