This ski lift was how we commuted every day, after the helicopters lifted all our tools & gear to the top. It's the oldest working ski lift in North America, it was disassembled in California somewhere and shipped here to Cordova. Both Elvis and Marilyn Monroe rode on this lift. I kept a close eye on the old cables... I don't really care to ride on ancient equipment like that - and the popping of the cables wasn't very soothing.

Leah bringing us some equipment and my rack. She's an awesome longline pilot and pulled off many difficult maneuvers with ease, even when it was blustery out. She outflew 4 other male competitor pilots last summer that I personally witnessed so we give her the business whenever we can. She stopped in a couple of times while we were camped out on an island with a couple cases of beer and fresh shrimp - "just because I was in the area"... and being a perky cute blonde didn't hurt, either! Her outfit is Vertical Solutions based in Valdez.

A memorial on the bridges spanning the Copper River that are no longer used due to washout.

We think this is part of the wreckage of that crane accident from the memorial.. but that's speculation on our part. It's halfway across the river beside the remainder of the bridge.

Scenery between the Copper River and Cordova... bear central!
