Putting up the flag is all we could accomplish today. Now to start hauling our materials up

It’s 2 miles of mean trail

@tulipgrrl My friend also had pictures of the wood playgrounds. He said they had one almost every 200 feet near the houses so kids had plenty of places to play

My friend made a pilgrimage to the abandoned McDonalds at the old navy base on Adak Island, Alaska

Quietly waiting for your order since 1997

From 1992-2004, the Anchorage International Airport had a bar with animatronic, talking, and rather cursed-looking customers who randomly told each other bad jokes. What a world we live in. Learn the history of our replica Cheers bar in my latest article: https://t.co/rCgt8ofU9y

@beccaderex That feeling when the plane depressurizes and the fresh Alaska air rushes in

Few could now imagine it, but when America was in its infancy this was the road west for many. Especially if they were coming out of Virginia, N Carolina, S Carolina, or points south, and going into what is now Kentucky and many places which are now considered the midwest.

@librarianhell @travisclones I didn’t see that, crazy. Typical bush Alaska shenanigans

@foggygray0 Pretty cool. My friend was able to find the house his family lived in back in the day when his dad was stationed there

@sodstories49 These are from 10 years ago or so but here are some more photos from around Adak. The first one shows the Navy housing where the locals all live now.

I lived on Adak pre-McDs.

I remember that there was a big event (a little hazy on what it was ... Maybe homecoming? ) and the Big Deal was that Whoppers were flown in on a Reeves plane from Anchorage.
