Finally going home. After two years we're heading back to the homestead. Our oldest son and I are flying out in the morning, Jenny and our two youngest will follow in a few days. Hopefully our town experience is over for good, no more neighbors and their all nighters. We have been planning for this day since we left two years ago. Since we left one of our old neighbors, Bud File, moved back to his homestead. Bud is in his eighties and still going strong, he is already claming the boys as his grandsons and looking forward to spoiling them. Jenny and I are ready to tap his brain; this man is a wealth of bush smarts. His family came to Alaska during the depression in a boat his dad built, that is another story though. We should have Internet & phone in a few days, the rural system is being upgraded, we have the new equipment but the tower up grades won't be complete until sometime in late June or early July. No one knows if the new equipment will work until tower work is complete. Even then our Internet system is slow and iffy. We hope we will be able to continue the board which I think we can to some extent. We should know shortly. I think Jenny will want to add some, but I have to go and finish packing.
Later( I hope) Chuck

I wish you the very best on your trip, Chuck and Jenny and family! I would have replied sooner, but the server was being upgraded (or downgraded, depending upon how you want to look at it) and I was just able to get on the site now. K
