Anchorage, Kodiak, and Gnome

Here I am leaving Anchorage. How did they know I was BOB?
|
Kodiak Island (for the next few pictures)

Maybe there's a reason you land one direction and take off the other?
|
Alaska Seagull. You can recognize these because they are in Alaska.
|
The beach! Still Kodiak Island

This salmon is running, even though she appears to be swimming.

Barometer Mountain, at the end of runway 25. Lane Jacobs and I climbed this 2 years ago.

This is where I rented my 1983 pickup for the low, low price of $75 a day. It's not easy to do $75 worth of wear and tear on an old pickup that's already beat up, but I felt morally obligated so I went off-roading.

My wheels!

These flowers are neat!

Cick here for some perspective.

|
A clean break.
|
These are from the gold rush. They have them scattered all over town as decorations.
|
This baby is REALLY stuck.
|
|
Stonehenge!
|
These are defense communications antennas they don't use any more. They were dismantling everything and the town asked them to leave them behind.
|
It said, "Warning! Dangerous Radiation. Keep off." So I climbed the feeder tower.

Gnome, AK
|
This is some really old concrete where there might have been some artillary. How do you spell that, anyway?
|
Newer concrete, but still pretty old.
|
An Arctic
Turn and a gold mine (I think).
|
Tight
Airport Security. This is the small airport. I took this picture from the
road. I found some concrete to land on a couple of miles from
here.
