Hey guys - Haven't been on here much lately cause john and myself have been embarking on a new adventure. We made the drive from Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania to Fairbanks, Alaska over the past 8 days. Its been a wild trip - about 4,500 miles wild - and were planning on being up here a while. As i get time I may post some photos. Just figured i'd drop in and say Hi though......

When you stay "stationed" I assume you mean Army and Delta Junction.

I had a friend up there about 1990.
