Kodiak Island - 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.

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.

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.
