Hey a Wrangell member! Welcome to CD!

I've lived in Wrangell since '66 and still not a day goes by I don't wonder how I got so lucky! The friendliest, most hard working hard playing people on the planet live here. The scenery is breathtaking everywhere you look from the glaciers up the Stikine River to the beaches to the mountains and creeks "out the road". Economy is in the ditch like everywhere else but there's honest work for anyone willing to look for it. Life's pretty basic here, no pretenses. Rain gear, x-tra tuffs, jeans & sweatshirt and you're geared for the best. As of today:
Gas: $3.20
Heating oil: $5.19
Milk: $5.09
Eggs: $2,89

All grocery items are skyrocketing but I never buy store-bought meat or fish. In fact I rarely go to the store. I buy dry goods in 50# bags from Oregon 3 or 4 times a year, ship it up here by barge and store it in 5-gallon buckets, grow as many of my own veggies as I can and make use of the wonderful wild greens, berries and medicine plants. The freezer and pantry are always full just from what I gather from the land. Not everyone takes advantages of what the wilds have to offer but more and more are learning.
In the 40+ years I've lived here I have never taken the keys out of my car or locked my door. If I leave my skiff in the harbor with jugs of gas, fishing gear or whatever I can come back a week later and not a thing has been disturbed.
Housing prices don't seem to be going down much, but if I know what you're looking for, if its here, I'll find it.
