Below are a couple of scanned images of Bettles. These were taken with the Minolta XG-1. Also below is an image from Port Heiden, also called Meshik on some maps.
More later today, hopefully.

The greater Bettles metro area.

Bettles. This has to arguably be one of the northernmost phone booths in the USA.

The two scanned images below were taken with my trusty old Minolta XG-1. These are old slides, Kodachrome 64 film, 35-135 lense with polarizing filter and scanned in with a Canon Canoscan-8400F scanner. For being a low priced flat-bed scanner, the Canoscan does a remarkablygood job, in my opinion.

The lower photo is of the Big Sur coast, the upper image is Frenchman Lake, about 50 miles norht of Reno and just across the state line, in California.

Another scanned slide image. Scanned with the Canon Canoscan8400F scanner.

Yesterday was kind of a black & white day. So here are some photos to match the day.

Stopping to enjoy the view.

Load'er up and let's go home.

Here comes our ride home. C-130's may be a noisy ride, but just take your earplugs. I'd ride one of these anywhere and feel a whole lot safer than many other types of planes I've been in.

The city of St. Paul.

St. Paul Island, the west side on a nice day.
