Aw shucks you guys/gals are awesome! Big props to AlaskaHashMan, Fuckcancer, FrozenChosen and AKRBB907!



I'm a middle-aged dude and it sounds dorky but I'll admit I kinda welled up when I saw all your kind offers. I mean RIU is the only online community I've ever been a part of, and its humbling for all you kind folks to offer assistance to some random dude who needs a ride!

I owe you all a bowl!
While the offer for gas $ is super generous, I recommend putting the dough into Kalua pork or whatever you're bringing to the bbq because I can cover my gas, I just don't think I'll have a rig. I share a vehicle with my lady, and she needs it that weekend to shuttle visiting family... which means she won't make it to the picnic either dangit!
Anyway, all this encouragement is inspiring, and I'm not giving up yet. I may be able to borrow a friend's rig (
"Hey Jim, I was wondering if I could borrow your truck to go to a ganja picnic/meet-n-greet in Anchorage" or soemthing like that? LOL). Or maybe take the train or shuttle- they're unknown to me but I'll look into it.
Also, I'll be coming from Seward, and can get to Tern Lake to carpool, so if anyone's coming from Homer/Soldotna/Kenai/etc. it wouldn't be out of your way...
I'll get something figured out, and thanks again for the support!!!
