Big Lake & Houston
I did my first field review today. We spent 8 hours tromping around state lands seeing what might work well for settlement land. Needless to say, we found some beautiful sites.Today's trip focused on the Big Lake and Houston areas. Both are about an hour drive north of Anchorage up the Parks Highway.
Houston was named after Sam Houston (as was that other Houston, I believe). Big Lake was named for... well... the big lake that's there. :o)
We'll be going out again on Thursday to look around the Willow area.
That's just to the north of where we were today. Depending on accessibility, we may take ATV's or more than likely, just do the truck and hoof-it mode of transport. I think DNR only has 3 ATV's to use for this type of excursion and 5 of us are doing these reviews.

Some beautiful scenery. Are you able to scoop up any of the prime spots? :o)

We are hoping to buy some state land some time soon. Maybe next year. It's an auction or lottery format, so it's not possible for state employees to snag the best spots. But there are lots of "best spots", so we're hopeful!
