The old-timers named it Chicken because they couldn’t agree on how to spell ptarmigan.

If Hope reads this or if AKM has a cell phone number for the Hopes, there’s wifi and a satellite phone, too, also, in Chicken, Alaska at the RV park on the road to the Chicken airport. It’s past the Chicken Creek Saloon. There’s generally no cell phone reception on the Taylor Highway except on top of Mt. Fairplay at Mile 40-45 or so. (The old-timers named it Chicken because they couldn’t agree on how to spell ptarmigan. The hills around there are full of ptarmigan in a good year. They look like small Barred Rock hens. Sort of. I have recipes.) I’m going to send this Mudflats article to my friends at the Chicken Gold Camp & RV Park and ask them to BOLO for the Hopes.

What great news about the Hope truck! It makes the damp sunshine here feel just that much better. Happy Trails and safe travels, Mr. and Ms. Hope!

I was just thinking of the unselfish giving of people like The Hopes, who are helping others just because it’s the right thing to do & the narcisistic self promotion of people like The Palins & Ziegler. Why can’t people who support them see through their charade?

As I sit here waiting for my coffee to brew, I read….and I laugh! What a gadabout that Brian is!!!

And I was just thinking last night, and needed a place to post it… here is perfect.

I love this place. I love this blog. I love the good and honest people that hang out here. I love the “feeling” of it all. Thank you AKM. Again. What a blessing.

And Hope, you and Mr. Hope are incredible people. Thank you for “representing”.

Let’s see if Sarah will appoint Brian de Moose as Alaska’s Ambasador of Goodwill sans portfolio.

If she doesn’t know who Brian is it might work.

It lovely to see people who will help, really help, their neighbors. It makes the world right for a little while.
