They're called "Limousines", Gerry. Rich folks rent them (Hummers in
all shapes) to pretend they're either 4-wheelin' or in the Army for
the day or evening.

My younger brother is in the Army, and despite the fact that he's
stationed
in Alaska, a Hummer is the last vehicle he would choose to drive.


Fort Richardson, or Fort Wainwright?


Fort Richardson. He bought a house up in Eagle River.


I was stationed at Ft Greely, in the early '70s. It was closed
several years ago, and is being 'remodeled' for a new use.
I spent a night at Ft Wainwright, on the way to Ft Greely. The
Fairbanks Airport was the closest commercial flight.


Fairbanks is really up there! I visited a few years ago and trekked up to
Denali from Anchorage. There was one section where we got no FM reception
whatsoever. I was running pretty low on gas on the way back, which was a bit
nerve wracking with two six year olds in the car. I think we drove about 140
miles between gas stations.
