Alaska Meet n Greet

ASpilot2be · January 2nd, 2007, 04:16

Since it seems that the number of Alaskans on the board seems to be on a steady increase, I think we should have a meet and greet.

If you are interested, we need to come up with a when and where.

fly22 · January 3rd, 2007, 16:33

How about a fishing trip in the summer. I'm in UT but would come up for that if you have some local joints we could fish.

ASpilot2be · January 3rd, 2007, 17:47

Fishing would be cool. Any idea on what you want to fish for? Like deep sea fishing, casting, trolling?

fly22 · January 4th, 2007, 13:08

Doesn't matter. All of the above.

ASpilot2be · January 4th, 2007, 13:49

OK. Is anybody else interested in a fishing get together up here at all?

Kristie · January 6th, 2007, 12:33

I would....but i don't put the bait on the pole and i don't deal well with bugs, but i do like to fish or go bear watching or take pictures of wildlife(s)...

it might be funner for me to play "grab the fishy" during high season! haha

ASpilot2be · January 8th, 2007, 00:14

Sheesh, nobody want to visit this lovely place?

As for a fishing trip, I googled fishing charters in Alaska and I was overwhelmed with results. I found an operator out of Skagway. There are alot more up north.

I will be up in Palmer from sometime late March to around the beginning of May, so maybe we can schedule something in that are during that time period. Then I return to SE in May till about July. I have access to a small boat here and I we could fish, and sight see. But its all up to you guys.

I added a poll to see where people would like to visit.

Doug Taylor · January 8th, 2007, 00:17

Kristie and I are big Alaska fans! We'll come see you and Cheechako one of these days.

ASpilot2be · January 8th, 2007, 00:22

Well, I was trying to divide into two sections, North and South. Maybe I should have just put that. Anyways, I havent been up there for it. I have never even heard of it.

PacMan4x4 · January 9th, 2007, 23:05

ASpilot.....I'm planning on making a trip back up to Anchorage for a couple week vacation around May. If you are gonna be in the Palmer area we can get together.

ASpilot2be · January 10th, 2007, 03:18

That sounds cool. I should be up there.

Baradium · January 10th, 2007, 04:29

I vote Fairbanks! Probobly becuase I'm already here.

If you want fishing, I like salmon fishing in the streams myself.

We do have one of the last flying ATL-98 Carvairs up here... (one of 2 flyable ones, and this one works on a regular basis). There is only one other (for 3 total) known to still exist.

Kristie · January 10th, 2007, 11:20

HEY.. there you go Alec..JC Alaska is growing! I'd LOVE to hold a NJC aboard one of the Holland America cruises up there.. that would be so much fun some year!! someday...

He hides is the shadows in the Valley waiting to throw salmon eggs on your back, or maybe one of those Japanese glass fishing net balls to bounce off the top of your head, and to laugh and point at your lower-48 flashy orange Columbia snow bunny parka (real Alaskans wear only Carhartts)!

Yes, yes, come to Alaska! mu-a-ha-ha-ha!

(I think the sub-zero temps and two weeks of no flying is making me a little batty).

Thats not a problem, I can do that for you, its my specialty. I guess you could call me a masterbaiter. LOL, sorry i couldnt resist.

But seriously, I have always wanted to visit alaska, I heard fairbanks is beautiful in the summer.

ASpilot2be · February 20th, 2007, 02:17

*Bump* With all the meet-n-greet activity going on down south, it would be nice to get the ball rolling on an Alaska meet-n-greet

After I return from Mexico mid March, I will be in Palmer for a month and half getting my PPL.

FlyOrDie · March 1st, 2007, 14:36

Beartooth might be a fun place to meet. Their Apple Ale is awesome.

The Beartooth and Moose's Tooth are owned by the same company so both are pretty awesome.

ASpilot2be · June 4th, 2007, 00:06

Is anybody up for a meet and greet up here in August or September.

Its guaranteed to be cooler than other parts of the country

I cant guarantee I will be there, but I can do my best to help organize the event.

Kristie · June 4th, 2007, 15:26

When do hotel rates go down up there Alec? September or October?

I'm almost thinking July or August myself just to get out of the heat for a bit.
