Epic: Alaska Railroad brings our Kawasaki Teryx 800 to our trail!

[@jiminalaska]

This is the kind of stuff I love about AK, no where else in the US does this lifestyle exist.

[@curmudgeinnak]

It is a very different way of living. But even after years on the sailboat I would not trade it for anything.

[@ashleyanderson2859]

Interesting setup they have. Awesome trail ride. Made it to Rhode Island and am on my way back home. Stopped in New York for the night. Catching up on KZbin!

[@curmudgeinnak]

Glad you stopped to take a break. that can be a long drive. Get home safe and we will talk again soon,

@@curmudgeinnak sounds good

[@SeaShell_Bee]

That was cool. I wondered what a tundra truck was. Similar to the MOW (Maintenance of Way) vehicles that I've watched on the Virtual Railfan live channel. Not bad on the delivery price either. Stay safe and thank you for sharing!

[@ontoitaussie7390]

Only in AK. Just love the way everything works there. Very ingenuity ways of getting stuff to where it needs to be 👍👍 just love that greenery..those ferns 💗

[@southernrootsalaskanbranches7]

Oh wow what a process! Very interesting Mr Rob! Beautiful country. Enjoy that side by side! Yall be safe!

[@MyAlaska12]

Looks like a good buy! Thanks for sharing.

[@johninalaska9563]

That is a cool truck, I was curious how you gotit out there by truck.

[@curmudgeinnak]

now ya know. 😉 it is a process to get big items out to us.

Save the tree- move the trail if possible

[@randywatkins3306]

❤ I LOVE THAT NAME CURMUDGE ! 😂 🎉 I was at Clear Creek Airport off loading plains , during winter WAR games for 4 weeks in Alaska ! Loved it for it's beauty and experience ! I was stationed at Fort Eustis VA. Early too mid 1980's ! What a great experience that was ! Stay safe & warm , yup wood pile !

[@rushingwindmountain]

Awesome video and very informative regarding getting things to remote areas. Thanks for sharing Rob.👍👍👍

[@curmudgeinnak]

Glad you enjoyed it. I am going to try to do more vids with the trains as it is our life blood for transportation.

[@OurCabinInThewoods]

Hey Rob this was a great video cool. Love how far back you are to the tracks stay safe up there see you on the next one.✌

[@curmudgeinnak]

Hey Tony, We are 13 miles from the closest road which is in Talkeetna. Then another mile up the trail if I take the upper trail. the trail I took in this video is the lower trail and it is about 1.25 miles. Thank you for stopping by,

[@OurCabinInThewoods]

@@curmudgeinnak I was just telling my wife about this video.

[@woodi4308]

It's a shame you couldn't ride with a side-by-side on the truck

[@curmudgeinnak]

yes and no. If we can do it others can get to us that way. It is kind of nice knowing we will not just have people walk up to our home with out us knowing.

[@j.r.3215]

People helping people, what a great idea !

[@lostmoose9994]

Wondering if you guys could get a permit to run your own UTV-draisine or railtruck like those railway maintenance pickup trucks ? Would save a lot of loading and unloading, just hopp off the tracks at your location and unload your supplies at home. Germans had that back in the days.

[@northerngirlhobbies]

Get er done before winter Curm. Ugg I said the 'W' word.

[@curmudgeinnak]

We like the winter. Much easier to get around in the woods. 😉

[@northerngirlhobbies]

@@curmudgeinnakI prefer being on foot in the mud as opposed to being on foot or snow machine. You can have my snow. 😁 But, I do love ice fishing.

[@woodi4308]

Who owns the land between the railroad and your cabin?

[@curmudgeinnak]

A few private properties with nothing on them but it is mostly state land.

[@alaskacutthecord769]

Well now, that is cool to see!

[@woodi4308]

I imagine you don't have to worry about theft up that way

[@curmudgeinnak]

Thankfully we do not. We only had an issue one time and they paid the price. They put diesel in a couple of snow machines. lol

[@janetparrish3429]

That was cool how y'all move things to the property. The little bridges on trail helps not getting stuck I bet.

[@pault1964]

Does all that water freeze in the winter

[@curmudgeinnak]

The rivers freeze for the most part if it gets cold enough. The last two years we had a lot of open water by mid Feb. Creekse freeze solid by December

[@pault1964]

@@curmudgeinnak thank you for replying,I am in the uk very rarely we cold weather for more than a week

[@DawnRaeB]

I love this!!!!!! I'm wondering how you chose the Teryx 800 (i.e. for special features or availability in your area... etc?) I've never owned an ATV and I'd like one here. But I don't know how to determine the best one for my needs and steep sloped land. And of course, when I mention it, people say that it wouldn't be safe on my slope. Oh. But I know that they drive theirs on the slopes.

[@curmudgeinnak]

Our friends from Alaska Cut the Cord sold it to us for a very good price. As to hills unless theuy are very steep I would not worry about it. I go up some steep hills no issues.

Happy Late Birthday Sarah 🎁🎊👏👏👏😊🙏
