Hello,
I'm new to this site and just checking it out. I'm interested in a move to Alaska (from NJ). Is there a way to get info on people who are looking for someone who might be interested in a work for your keep kind of arrangement.

Hey Cheechako,
Try one of the few Salmon processing plants in the Kenai your first summer.It's a job you'll love to hate,but,most provide housing and Pacific Star Seafoods even have a reasonable cafeteria for employees.I worked there one summer years ago.You can learn alot about Salmon and maybe like me,do the barter system with the fisherman where I was able to leave with 300 Lbs of great fish which got me thru my first winter.The pay is "ok" and the hours are long,and I mean long,and you will meet some interesting people and learn alot about Alaska.The season starts the end of June normally but start looking in March and plan on working untill the end of August.And if worst comes to worst and you find Alaska isn't for you,Well,then you got paid for finding out.I like the fact that after the "season".you still have time to explore Alaska before freeze up.Good Luck,,,,Bushman

AKJohn:
You might try searching the net for a publication called "The Caretakers Gazette" if you are interested in something like that.

Wet and snowy today We're having our first good snowfall and it's well overdue. Had rain yesterday and my pups were sopping wet! Didn't bother them half as much as it did me obviously...lol Let me know if you're ever in the area!! Washkeeton, what part of the great north are you in? Wolfie |
