snotpig - go for it!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Having a place to stay for free really helps take the sting out of travel expenses, and makes the trip more enjoyable. When my wife and I went to Alaska in 90' we stayed at her uncle's place when in Anchorage. He let us use his truck with cap for camping and fishing around the Kenai peninsula - a really great time! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I hope you make the trip!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
