Hello my name is Lane Rau. I moved to Alaska in 2006 and will be considered a Cheechako for another 4o years. A Cheechako is someone who is new to Alaska and is not wise to the ways of the north. The opposite of a Cheechako is a Sourdough.
I love it here in Alaska and plan to stay for the rest of my life. I sympathise with the newly arrived who blunder about The Great Land. That is why I am starting this blog, as kind of a cheat sheet for Cheechakos. This will take some of the burden off of the Sourdoughs who have had so much patience with me.
Please feel free to contact me with recipes, tips or constructive blogging advice. I am a real estate licensee with Coldwell Banker Endeavor Realty in Anchorage, so you can always contact me at www.LaneRau.com.
