My house finally sold (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) , set to close at the end of April so I have a month to get outta here.

This means figuring out how to get 3 cars (914 included) and a 3 bedroom house and 3 car garage full of stuff up there without completely breaking the bank.

I would like to just fill a container with all the household stuff and the 914 and ship it up there but it seems that prices for that have gone up considerably in the last year. So it may be a uhaul of the Alaska Hwy. We where planning on driving it anyway just with our Rover and Toyota and not a moving truck. I've done the drive about 20 times so that's not a biggie but gas is going to be a killer.

We will be moving to Homer on the Kenai penninsula, "the halibut fishing capital of the world". We are planning on opening a Coffee shop/bakery/roaster there. I used to live there and have missed it since the day I left.

Open invitation to any club member visiting Alaska to come to Homer and visit.
