| Anybody know much about this little place? |
| They have a bluegrass festival there every year that draws a big crowd. Also, Nenana and Healy aren't far away for necessaries. There is a burger joint nearby, I can't recall the name but It is supposed to be really good; It was at one time on the Parks highway but due to a road re-route it is now off to the side and seems to not be as popular. |

You might check they have been giving land away to encourage people to move there Might find some for free with a little work There is probably a reason. 
It's still free though. I would love to have some of that land they gave away back in the day, i believe it's now Palmer? |
| Fairbanks is the closest city of any size. A little over an hour away. Good place to get groceries and other supplies. Winters are colder than a witches titty. Much like Fairbanks with a lot of snow. Someone here reminded me of the land give away. I don't know if it still goes on, but hell yeah. It would be worth the effort to check into. |
| Yea I remember hearing about the free land giveaway now. The deal I had seen was 28 acres with a 2br house for 100K with 5% down , but then I remember that in Alaska in some places a "house" could consist of a Cessna wing , some alder poles and the ever present blue tarp. |

That burger joint must be down in cantwell, maybe 30 miles south of healy, and is indeed pretty damn good.
REAL pretty country out there. As long as you dont need a city full of people to keep you entertained, it would be a fine place to set up shop. tends toward being pretty windy, temps range widely with the seasons. |

There's a good place about 2 miles north of Nenana. You would have to be nuts to live in Anderson year round. There are houses, a post office, presumably a school and church of some kind (didn't see them though) and a sweet shooting range where the mayor encourages you to bring any machine guns, cannons, junk cars, and dynamite you might have. |

Burger joint two miles north of Nenana? The Monderosa? Driven by a 100 times, never stopped. A mayor who encourages shooting cars with machine guns? Sounds like a great place for a second home . . . Do they provide machine guns? I can provide the appliances. |

I have met a few over the past few weeks and they are a great bunch of guys. |
