"And I must look rather funny wandering around here with this big chitt eatin grin on my face grin"

Same thing happened to me, back in '69, after a year up here, then 6 weeks back Outside.

I knew then I was HOME. Lasted a couple weeks, I think. Rictus.

Just had to make that trip and failed to make it in early... place was packed beyond words and I still got in and out in under an hour which shocked me... they more than doubled the number of stations from the last time I was there.

Worst days for the DMV are beginning of the month and Mondays. Last time I was there I got there around 2pm mid week and didn't wait more than 15 minutes before my number was called.

You can do quite a bit online with the DMV which really cuts down on the traffic.

cwh2,

Thank you for the warm welcome and kind offer of help, if needed.



Paul,

The DMV flowed like a brook. I had to fill out 2 forms. Before I got the second form 1/2 done they called me in and got the process underway. I never stopped moving once started and was out of there quickly. It was actually a rather pleasant experience...all in all.

Now that's something few have experienced!

Next solstice, you will be a resident! Congrats and great timing!

I know. Right.!?!?!


And that's never gone as smoothly anywhere else I've had to do business with DMV.

Ya Know Ironbender,
It was you who said, "Why don't you just drive it.." in reference to my thoughts on shipping up my truck. I've got to say that you're suggestion in the form of that question was really the catalyst for me to make that amazing drive up. I appreciate you having spoken up about it. One of, if not the, greatest land trek adventures of my life.! Thank you.

Oh chit! I'm glad you had no trouble!!! smile

Actually, I've made the drive quite a number of times and will agree that it's always a good time.

So far, so good. I always suffer a little 'breakdown paranoia'.

Especially on the other thread about sat phones and the Cassiar.

Far as dmv's I head to the one in eagle river, if I want to go sight seeing I drive to the Palmer one. But I never go to the one off Spenard screw that place.

Well, I got things settled here at the DMV in Anchorage, but if you're looking for a ride along, I'd be happy to make the run with ya.

I live in wasilla so going to the one in Palmer is way out of my way considering where I live at in wasilla. So
the eagle river one is the most convienent one for me.

LOL. Maybe I should just swap my license in October since I should be back in the spring... LOL. Would save me a trip. Would have to say I"m on vacation though for a the winter months before coming back.

Jeff, just take a scenic drive down to Valdez, and hit the DMV there. One person, and one little counter: very little waiting. smile

To the OP 358, welcome to Alaska!
