Jeanne, Bishop is a beautiful area. Were you in Alaska in 64 when the huge earthquake hit Anchorage? We have spent several summers in Soldotna on the Kenai river. We don't have to leave our country to see God's creations at it's best.

I've been through some doozies in CA and Alaska. I grew up almost due east of you girls in Stockton then. When my dad moved us out of L.A. (Venice Beach and small earthquakes and tidal waves were my first experiences there) we lived in the Bishop/Mammoth Lakes area near the east side of Yosemite. In the 80's we had some very strong earthquakes that scientists say weren't related to Mt St Helens, but I don't think they have convinced the locals of that. Everytime St Helens decided to tremor our little dormant Mammoth Mt would shake her bootie. The Mt is on the San Andreas Fault Line. Then she scared away all the City of Angels skiers (boo hoo) with opening little steam vents of her own. Of course the locals have always known of all the 'hot creeks' and natural 'hot tubs' but we weren't going to tell the tourists! When I lived in Alaska it was normal procedure to have everyone's boots lined up at the door and a rack for the coats right above...and this wasn't just gor the cold weather! Right inside the coast closet was everyone's own 72 hour pack filled with custom emergency goodies. Outside was safer in Alaska because there wasn't the danger of falling power poles and buildings. We always lived out away from everyone else and the way the ground shakes there your house is more liable to falling down on you no matter what it is made of. That reminds me though of some construction men I knew then that were working on a steel frame design for homes that would sway. ....fairly stable, calm, and warm here in Bend, Jeanne On 2/12/08, B.

No, I wasn't, I was just getting ready to graduate from high school that Good Friday morning. But I had an uncle stationed at Elmendorf and it was partly due to his letters to my mom that started me yearning for the adventure. I didn't go to Alaska until 73, just before the pipeline boom. My 2nd husband and I and my 3 kids drove the Alcan, bought a new two story 4 bedroom house for 43, 000 in Eagle River. We had many wonderful adventures, built our own super cub, both learned to fly, but he crashed it while hunting 5 years after we were there. I should have stayed but I missed the rest of my family in 'the Lower 48', sold our house for $170,000. The economy was still going up, too. I missed Alaska and 5 years later took my kids back and we lived in Homer, the Halibut fishing capital of the world!! I still miss Alaska, but I can't talk all of my kids into going back with me!

Jeanne, that sounds wonderful. Homer is one of my favorite places in the world, we took the boat tour around Bird Island and saw 30 or more Puffins. I was thrilled. The shopping is fun there too. We spent a couple of days in Nome, great place to visit, don't think I would want to live there.

We lived in Fairbanks for four years. It was so much fun you wouldn't believe it. It is a wonderful place to raise kids. So much for them to do.
