Admiralty Island with my crew
My crew and I performed trail work on Admiralty Island. We traveled by seaplane to North Young Lake. This was our last project together, and a good one to end on. We worked 10 hours a day, 8 days in a row. We were backcountry, deep in the wilderness. I hauled puncheon (65 Lbs. of lumber) on my back with two of my crew members for the first 5 days. The haul took one-half hour in one direction. ...

At the end of our last day, I got to build a small trail structure called a turnpike. ...

Our first pod
... We launched the Tender and took a tour next door to Waterfall Cove and the 300-400 foot Kasnyku Falls. We continued around the bay to see the Fish and Game adventure boat departing after a day of advancing knowledge to its passengers.
This is the location of Hidden Falls Hatchery, a non-profit co-op organization funded by the local commercial fishermen. They produce 85 million salmon each year and return them to the sea ...
Pleasant surprise
We headed to Tenakee Springs, which was one of the better surprises of the trip. To describe it as quaint doesn't do it justice, although it is certainly that. A string of colorful houses along the water front served by a single dirt road made it distinctive. The absence of motor vehicles (only the fire truck and the fuel delivery pickup are allowed), the presence of the residents on ...
