Charleston, Alaska 8-17 May 2010

Oh, Canada!

Somewhere between Canada and Alaska.

On approach to Elmendorf (that's the International runway in the picture).

Elmendorf

Downtown Anchorage.

More downtown.  You can still see the sunlight outside... at 10 pm!

View from my hotel room.

On the road just outside of town.  There's really nothing around for miles but mountains and ocean.

They have a memorial for a crew that crashed in the 90's.  It has 2 Bald Eagles that are injured and can't return to the wild.  We showed up at the same time as the volunteer to feed them, and she let us go inside the cage and hang out with the eagles.

They eat fish and in this case some turkey legs. 

The cage from the outside

More Elmendorf.

On departure.

The mountains just outside the base... it gets pretty barren pretty fast.


Home sweet home!
