Some pics from the job site in Candle, Alaska

what a fantastic (looking) place to spend time surveying.
Do those flying bugs bight? They remind me of unpleasant mosquito's I've had to contend with.

With those animals about is it safe to leave an unattended base station for long?

Thanks for sharing

Daryl,

Great pictures! How do you suppose that old equipment was brought in - by ship or aircraft? I know the Alaskan waters were very treacherous with hidden pinnacle rocks before it was completely charted. Makes me also wonder if someone struck it rich or busted there. Those buckets are pretty cool. Any markings on them as to where they were made?

Enjoyed your pics again, keep and eye out for Brutus.......

I always love to check out your pics from your jobs and the Chicken Marengo looks so tasty. I am going to have to try your recipe. Great job on the tutorial. Keep it coming.

:good: :good:

great pics and narrative - thank you for sharing!

Mosquitoes are pretty thick here, you just have to accept them or you'll go insane

had a base station go down to a family of blue fox years ago who chewed up all the cabling, but thats about it

Hey Daryl,

Nice pics neat place. (the Cuban Lady smoking the cigar is my favorite)
However I will stick with the hurricanes and snakes instead of bears and ice. B-)

Have a great 4th and say hey to M!

There was a barge landing near the mouth of the Kiwalik River then they trucked it in on a road to town.

Noaa actually just released updated charts a couple months ago, everybody was having to rely on lead line measurements from 19th century charts up until then

not on the buckets themselves but a lot of the old machinery was tagged

Awesome as always Daryl!

Keep em coming.....

Cheers,

there were metro kotzebue shots actually... something got jammed up with the link name or something...I just got back in from the field I'll have to check it out in a bit...

Outstanding pics. You really have an eye for framing the shot.

Say, what do you like best to eat up there?

King Salmon?
Halibut?

What is on the menu?

They're catching king crab right now in Norton Sound. Gotta go pick up a couple of live ones for dinner tonight. Daryl, are you still in Kotz? If you come thru Nome, give my office a ring (443-6326) and we'll go hoist a few at the Breakers!!

Daryl, I have a question....

When you go out into the wilderness like that, are your "forward operating command posts" already determined, or do you just use whatever is avsilable?

Great pics, wish I could go along on one of those adventures.

Randy

As usual...great stuff!
Thanks for sharing, Daryl.
