Lavelle's Taphouse. That may be spelled wrong....
Kind of an up town feel, but the beer is good. Spelt correct. And a LOT of them!

I just took a transfer here, myself. Been here before, even in the winter. Nice place. I can see why so many military guys retire from Wainwright or Ellison, then never leave.
Wayyyyy more and better gun shops than I had in western Wyoming, but the traffic is way worse too. Congrats.

Looks like University Avenue is going to be Down for another year and a half- making it a total of about 4 without thru traffic? Lovely
They sure do like their traffic lights too. They allow you to stop and admire pretty much every one.
Not to mention all the other street construction going on. Why just a couple days ago they allowed me to drive about 5 miles to get to the Fred Meyer on I Airport from my son’s place on College - a distance of a mile or so
I liked it a whole lot better when I attended UAF 50 years ago. It was a nice place then. About the best I can say for it now is that it isn’t Anchorage.
But one can get out of town PDQ!

I know a fella that went to UAF about that time. He shot a moose from his dorm window. The old lower dorms. Beat eating in the cafeteria.

Passed through Fairbanks years ago on a train. Sort of looked like it had been frozen for longer than 100 years! It helps keep all but the hardiest of riff-raff out.

I also just got orders for Wainwright and should be there around January. What range options are there up there and/or are there public land spaces that most folks go to when they want to shoot? Really excited about going up north, not so excited about the 6-month long winters ha.

You might be too old and too clean, Jeff! Maybe, but odds are again' it  More likely I don't know squat about Fbks except the airport and a food place or 2. They surely must have a decent brewery. Hoo Doo Brewing, Bobbie did hs homework and knows how to make beer.

Really excited about going up north, not so excited about the 6-month long winters ha. South Cashman range is good for 330 yard's, was out there pretty early yesterday and a cow (moose) walked across about the 270 yd line, pretty funny, 2nd time I've seen that. If you are at WW then you may have some range options available us civies cant use.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

79s,
Back in 2002 they sent a handful of us prior service guys to Wainwright. I won't lie, I was thrilled when they told us there was no room and sent us to the 84th Engineers at Ft Rich.
No early morning PT in 30-40 below!

I'm coming from El Paso, TX where within a 20 minutes drive you're in the middle of the desert and have 1000 yds in most directions that you can safely shoot. I feel very spoiled coming from there so I'm curious to see what Alaska has to offer. I also just got orders for Wainwright and should be there around January.

Maybe I shouldn't be lol but I'm going up there with some good guys and I'm looking forward to the hunting and outdoors.
