You do get quite hungry for a big mac or pizza out here. We live 8 miles from canadian border on the yukon and our road closes in october until april. (eagle)

I can't take those Digorno's anymore. We get 20 pizzas at a time frozen on their own cardboard in the oven plates from what use to be great land pizza in fairbanks. Large pizzas and total with shipment is under 10 bucks each, not bad.

Got to really watch arctic circle air and everts air though. I usually order 20 pizzas every 2 months. Last time, the pizzas first came out on arctic and the pilot made a stop at fort yukon before flying up river to eagle. At fort yuk he yelled out who gets the pizza and some one gladly took it. I heard the plane coming upriver and jumped in trk and made haste to landing strip. He opened door and entire plane smelled of pizza, but no pizza; happens all the time. Arctic reimbursed my money a couple weeks later. Nx day I called pizza shop and they made 20 more. This time they came on everts air. They got here a week and a half later, sat in freezer at everts. So I usually plan on ordering 2 weeks before I ever need pizza nowadays.

Pretty good pizza just the same. I get sick of salmon and caribou.

Sams sent us 12 boxes of food a couple weeks back, and lost one box. They replaced it but didnt have to, get insurance its cheap. People lose boxes everyday in shipment out here; probably the same all over bush alaska.

Hi Eska! I like your idea of having pizza flown in. I wonder if 40-Mile Air would do that too. I don't care for the Digorno's much either. They're o.k. every once in a blue moon, but when we want pizza, we just make our own. But whenever we go to town for supplies, we ALWAYS order a pizza delivered to our motel room. Sometimes we get a couple of extra and bring them home and pop them in the freezer.

Hopefully we won't get much more snow this winter. Sure would be nice to have a faster breakup this year. We're not far from the other end of the Taylor. :)
