Buckland, Alaska

Many have asked about where we live, and my mom among others has googled more than a time or two.  So here is a picture from Google Earth of Buckland, Alaska, the town we currently call home.  As you see we live right near the school.  It is a very nice home, much bigger than the last one we enjoyed in Port Alexander.  It is a 3 bedroom, 1 bath but it is as larger if not larger than our apartment we lived in in Richfield, Utah.

Everything is within walking distance, and because the town runs on a mix of generators and wind power they actually have LED street lights throughout most of town.  So when it gets its darkest our new little home will be well lit.

Two wonderful conveniences are the store and the airport.  The store is a little native store that is open Monday through Saturday from 10 to 6.  They have a little bit of everything.  And I do mean everything.  Ammo to toilet paper to Dr. Pepper to Ice Cream and diapers.  The airport is such that they actually get planes every day.  Twice actually Monday through Saturday and once on Sunday.  And at that there are two airlines that come out, Bering and Raven so it is more like four opportunities Monday through Saturday and two on Sunday.

So that's it for now, hopefully you enjoy our little or big insights to our town.
