Widgeon Mission

The sunny days daze continues! Hard to believe a year has passed since we moved to Kodiak. Tuesday night, seeing the amazing blue sky, we chartered the Grumman Wigeon for an hour long scenic. Here's our route, if you're curious.

Cockpit:



We started by flying south towards Chiniak.





Over the old bunkers down there.





Out towards Cape Greville along the Southeastern coastline.








The water was amazingly clear. Serious kelp!



Then we turned inland and flew up the Sacramento River towards Mount Golodof.




The crew.


Pasagshak out the window.




Plenty of snow on the hills!







Here's the Terror Lake dam, where we get our power. Between this and the windmills, we enjoy some of the cheapest electricity in the bush.



The village of Port Lions.



Whale Island





The ruins of Afognak village. It was destroyed by the 1964 Tsunami.



Danger Bay and logging camps. Hi Sally!
