At the time, yes. I could have, but I found out later that those gorgeous woman, and there were many of them, went for about $1500.00 a night. I hadn't spent a paycheck in a year, so yes I could have. But didn't, there was no shortage of women in Alaska. Almost a two to one advantage in them. I ended up bringing one back to Alabama. Turned into wife number 1. Wife number 2 was a huge upgrade. Still have that model. The men coming out for their one week break working on the pipeline had large amounts of $$$$$ on them. Didn't bat a eye at what it cost. This is 1975 $$$. $1500.00 bought you a car.Well, were you able to afford it?
