Nice calm day so I headed to Long Island to go check out the remnants from WW2.
Heading out it was nice and calm
Cruisin
Ran into 5 river otters
Long Island Lagoon
The road is still there
Over 1,000 troops worked and lived on Long Island during the war
Flush!
Quonset huts all seem to suffer structural fatigue in the middle
Some were still intact
The two story bunker
One part of the interior
The Army destroyed all the artillery guns before they left
Out on the island you can see some observation towers marked by the rectangular entrances
I did stumble onto these guys and left quickly so as not to cause a stampede
Observation posts
Another bunker
I would have volunteered for this duty during WW2
Heading back on the road... those aren't vehicle tracks... they are from the ghost elk of long island (feral cows)
The route
And the paddle home. Quite a day in Kodiak.
