Oh my preference is for a hike, and a brutal one at that. I need to feel like I earned the trophy  So I'm glad to hear that hiking is the preferential method Reason I mention boats as I have hunted out of one, towards Seward IIRC.

Tracy arm has some very brutal hikes, but you don't need to go that far for some good vertical hiking.

Well I spent my evening poking around the web, mainly focused on housing. Initially I was disappointed at the high cost/low availability. But I found some smaller free standing homes, and condos that were affordable by my standards. Several condos I found were around 150k which was not too far off from Alabama prices. Am I missing something with these? Obviously fees/dues etc factor in...
Now to just put in my dues at work and keep socking dough away like a crack fiend.

I have known a few to live in tents and Yurts! But they weren't trying to hold down a corporate job. LOL

I'm going to pray about this, and chat with my brother who is visiting this weekend. How are the churches and schools up that way?

Been up there a few times. I lived on the opposite end of the state. Church as in a building with pews and an alter? I don't know. But its gods country all around you. Having something like this wouldn't be to bad! http://www.seawolfmarine.com/ModelsOptions/SeawolfPilothouse2528.aspx

Quite tempting. Would that be to live in as well? I can't begin to speculate as to what they cost, and if you have to ask

You could live in it. But back to the looking for a woman thing, so what do you say we go back to my boat! LOL Oh yeah the bus will get us there!
I am not 100% but I believe something like that goes 100K+, minus motor/electronics.

Something like this would surely work too while saving you some coin. http://www.hewescraft.com/mid-size-ocean-boats/sea-runner

Still laughing over this one! Sure would be great using a boat like that every day/weekend. I saw quite a few boats/houseboats on craigslist just poking around earlier. Something to think about

I would rather have a good truck, a boat, and an ok house, then a really nice house, ride the bus and no boat. If your spending that much time in your house then your living in Juneau for no good reason.

I'm right there with you on every point!
A house is a place to eat and sleep, and the outdoors is for really living.
Boat wise a 20ish foot aluminum with hard cabin would be living the freaking 'I won the lottery dream' Any truck that can pull it works for me.

Also, it would not surprise me if you had a few bookmarks for boats online Good reading material that gets me pumped up!

No bookmarks. Just shooting you some options. If I move back up I will have a 25ish foot Aluminum boat with cabin for sure.
