Every April in Alaska about 15,000 people descend on the Summit Lake area (i.e. middle of nowhere) to watch the arctic man ski/snowmachine race. But in reality the race is just an excuse for the largest tailgate party in all of Alaska. Since I am the Dept. of Natural Resources representative who issues the permit for this party, I "had" to go there for a field inspection. It's definitely one of the rougher assignments of the year. A co-worker and I loaded up the rental RV on Wednesday morning with two ski-doo snowmachines in tow and headed to Summit. There we inspected the make-shift city for compliance with the permit stipulations and of course spent plenty of time on the machines doing area recon and checking for possible resource damage. It was snowmachiners heaven.

Nice government mission there
Life's rough.
how could i get my taxes to pay for me to go fishing?
Ike-
We don't pay state taxes so don't try going down that road.
I did have a job once with Fish & Game where I "sampled via hook and line" for grayling.
BTW- congrats on your first cutthroat.
that's right. they don't even have property tax or sales tax in Southeast.
how do they fund this stuff?
Hey, have you found out whether we're hunting bucks or buffalo yet?
