... done in the area; in fact when we got there we noticed lots of warning signs nearby indicating that there were unexploded
artillery shells in the area near the lake. He asked us why we were visiting and so I told him about Dad and how he had served in the Aleutians during World War II and how he came to Otter Lake
to conduct training. The officer smiled his understanding and told us to enjoy our stay on the base.

We're off !
... and arrived at 10am – perfect timing to sort out importing the two bikes. Also had a superb and very rare clear view of the snow covered peak of Mt McKinley which was stunning.
