Made in to Shemya Island

[flex]

It looks exactly as I had imagined. A rock out at the very end of the Aleutian Chain. It's even in a different time zone. I wonder if I can see Russia from here?

Oh I'm totally here on business. ha ha. The Air Force has a base here and I represent the contractor who runs the power plant, vehicle fleet, etc., as well as the cafeteria staff. I'll be here (weather permitting) until Wednesday afternoon.

How much free time (ie drinking on the beach time) do you get?

If you saw the "beaches" they have here, you'd want to just stay in the barracks and drink. lol

That's a little disappointing....I hear island, I think beach!

It's about 32 here with the wind at about 20 knots.

I remember being on the beach in Adak for July 4th, and having to wear a jacket and hat because the wind would freeze your ears.
