Homer, AK - Helicopter Work Trip

[NightTrain]

Our Limo - a Cessna 207.



Taking off from Nanwalek. They've got a cool little protected harbor here for their boats that you can only get in and out of during high tide. That's where I'd be keeping the boat, for sure.

One last shot of Nanwalek from the air. The tower there is how everyone gets internet and telephone.

We had a couple of people hopefully ask if we were there to finally install cell service for them... unfortunately, no, we weren't. I don't see them getting service anytime soon, because there just isn't enough people there to justify the huge expense of setting up the tower & equipment to provide it. Cell companies have to make money or it won't happen, ya know!

And a few more shots of scenery on the way back to Homer.

There's a bear down there in the valley... I can't find it in the pic, though.

Seldovia. It's a pretty cool little town, very popular with Anchorage residents owning recreational cabins / homes here.

Seldovia's link to the world.

Pretty nice cabins.








It's hard to see in this pic, but there's a red pickup on the beach down there above the high tide mark. He probably uses this to haul stuff from his boat to his cabin... I imagine he used a Landing Craft to get it hauled out there. Personally I would have went with a good ATV, but this works too!
