 Here I am leaving Anchorage. How did they know I was BOB? |

 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. |
 The beach! 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. |

 Gnome area |

 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 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 artillery. |
 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. |
