Hi Buzz,
What part of 907 are you in.

I lived in Lime Village for several years, and my family has a compound in the headwaters of the Stony river.

Hi John
I am not too far from your folks at stony. I am in the yukon kuskokwim delta near russian mission.....we picked up kids for camp at stony a month ago!
How long you live in Alaska...born here???

Hi Buzz,
My uncle has been in that part of Alaska since the mid 60's. He went there as a volunteer with a program similar to the peace corps, liked it, and stayed after his time as a volunteer was up.

I was only there for four years. I moved back east in 07.

I milled some lumber in Red Devil. I think that's pretty close to where you are. It was about a 110 mile trip down river for me.

Thanks for reply,
Red devil is east of hear bout 45 minute flight?   pretty close by alaska standards right?
