Alaska's Kiska & Attu Islands - Seaplane Mission
The question will be: WHICH MISSION DO YOU WANT TO GO ALONG ON FIRST?
A --- Ron is planning to fly up to Alaska summer 2020 in the 208 Cessna Caravan Amphib. This video describes 1 of 2 substantial side missions that may be included in that trip, or on a following trip in future years. This mission will be to explore strategic parts of Kiska Island where almost no one can access and where almost no one, if anyone, has been. Ron will attempt to land and document WW2 artifacts that had been left by the combined US and Canadian Naval invasion force, which landed on this beach and liberated the island in the spring of 1943.
Kiska Island is located in an extremely remote region at the end of Alaska's Aleutian island chain that splits the churning and dangerous Bering Sea to the north and the open Pacific Ocean to the south. The climate there is engulfed in a unique semi-permanent low-pressure system, which yields constant high winds, heavy rains and dangerous foggy weather conditions.
B --- The next episode will give an overview of the other planned mission, which would be to travel to the Northwest Territory's northern edge in an attempt to try to locate a certain unfound relic of the famed Mad Trapper the Rat River.

David Travels Series - Episode 10 - Alaska - HD
In this episode, we travel the famous Alaska coastline via the Norwegian Jewel cruise ship. Traveling by cruise provides the greatest opportunity to cover the most ground in a week’s timeframe. Our cruise departs from Seattle and stops in Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, BC, Canada then back to Seattle.
Alaska offers so many amazing sights, it was hard to squeeze it all into one episode. So I only picked the top 3 destination ports for this episode. Sit back, relax and I hope you enjoy this extended episode of David Travels.
Ketchikan, is a city in Ketchikan Gateway Borough, Alaska, United States.
Ketchikan’s economy is based upon tourism and fishing. The City is known as the Salmon capital of the world!
Ketchikan serves as both an air and marine transportation hub for southern Southeast Alaska.
The Ketchikan International Airport serves as both a gateway for Alaska Airlines jet service to and from Seattle, Juneau and Anchorage
A little thoughtful planning had me booked on an Indiana Jones style air/land adventure over Misty Fjords wilderness area with SeaWind Aviation.
They fired up the de Haviland Beaver Seaplane. Originally introduced in 1947, this plane is still the workhorse of many as the gold standard of seaplanes.
A seaplane is has floats for wheels to use for take off and landing and only one engine, propeller and pilot.
Some of nature’s most majestic work in Alaska is a short flight from Ketchikan. This unique landscape is over 2 million acres of protected land filled with brown and black bears, mountain goats, humpback whales and bald eagles..
We touched down on a high, remote mountain lake and my companions and I actually got out to take photos by standing on the floats. The peace and quiet of this moment was unparalleled.
Next Stop, Juneau AK
Juneau is named after gold prospector Joe Juneau. It’s situated close to the Mendenhall and Lemon Creek Glaciers.
Orca Whales were playing off the bow. Orca whales or Killer whales are a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family.
On the way back to town, we stopped at the famous Mendenhall Glacier. This glacier is 12 miles long. The lake infront was formed by melting ice. The glacier has also receded 1.75 miles since 1958 and will continue to retreat in the foreseeable future.
Back at the city, we stopped in the Red Dog Saloon for lunch.
This world famous saloon has provided hospitality and fellowship to weary travelers and local patrons alike since 1940.
Some old timers tell locals the Red Dog Saloon used to be just a tent on the beach during the mining heydays.
Back on the ship this time the inside passage treated us to mile high walls of granite rock and an up close view of some more huge glaciers.
Skagway, AK
In a single year from 1896 to 1897, this remote town along the inside passage grew from a few tents to a city of 20,000 gold seekers.
The area around present day Skagway was inhabited by the Tingit people from prehistoric times. They fished and hunted in the waters and forests and traded with other groups for supplies they needed.
The White Pass Trail, was one of the two main passes used by prospectors during the Yukon Gold Rush. The Yukon gold rush was an attempt by 100,000 people to travel to this area in search of their gold fortunes. Most failed and many never made it back home from these extremely harsh conditions.
This area is packed with wildlife. Brown and black bears actually use the road for easy travel. So you don’t even have to get out of your car to see them. Just keep your eyes open on the drive.
We have reached our destination. Emerald Lake, It is the largest of Yoho's 61 lakes and ponds, as well as one of the park's premier tourist attractions.
Due to its high altitude, the lake is frozen from November until June. The vivid turquoise color of the water, caused by powdered limestone, is most spectacular in July as the snow melts from the surrounding mountains.
During the summer months, canoe rentals are available; in the winter, the lake is a popular cross-country skiing destination.
The lake is enclosed by mountains of the President Range, as well as Mount Burgess and Wapta Mountain. This basin traps storms, causing frequent rain in summer and heavy snowfalls in winter.
Emerald Lake Lodge, a high-end lodge perched on the edge of the lake, is available for local accommodation.
Our final journey during the voyage home treated us to spectacular snow-capped mountain ranges set against lush green landscapes.
SOUTHEAST ALASKA MAGNIFICENT NORTHLAND 1950s TRAVELOGUE 56804
Produced by Joseph Yolo and narrated by Tom Bostic, Southeast Alaska: Our Magnificent Northland is a short film promoting Southeast Alaska. Despite the end of the gold rush era, Alaska still has a special allure to it. Unlike much of the rest of the state—and countries with a similar latitude—Southeast Alaska has a mild climate, tempered by a warm water current. Covering much of Southeast Alaska is the Tongass National Forest (02:31), home to millions of hemlock and spruce, totem poles, and abundant wildlife. Southeast Alaska’s principle towns are Skagway, Juneau, Sitka, Wrangell, and Ketchikan. Ketchikan (03:45) is the “salmon capital of the world.” Commercial fishing and fishing tourism dominate the region, thanks to large populations of salmon and Alaskan Black Cod (04:20). Pontoon planes (04:33) are a common mode of transportation: Alaska has seventy times the per-capita use of airplanes than the rest of the U.S. Juneau, Alaska’s capital, now has a modern airport to service airline jets (04:55), making travel to Southeast Alaska easier and more affordable. Another major attraction of Southeast Alaska is the totem poles (06:25) that dot the landscape. Residents and tourists alike enjoy all that Southeast Alaska has to offer, including Tongass National Forest (07:48), playing on sandy beaches (08:00), and dog-powered transportation (08:16). Mendenhall Glacier and Mendenhall Lake (08:33; 09:50) are not only major tourist attractions, but they also provide jobs to those willing to harvest the pure ice (08:54). North and South Sawyer Glaciers (09:19) at the end of Tracy Arm, producing tons of icebergs, are another highlight of the region. The glaciers are receding, and the receding Mendenhall glacier left an ancient fertile bed that is now used for agriculture (10:08). The U.S. Forest Service is developing the Tongass National Forest (10:34) so that it can help build and support Alaskan communities. Logging in Tongass National Forest (10:56) is a major industry, and portable mills (11:05) are brought in to saw spruce needed for packing cases, which are used to ship the thousands and thousands of pounds of frozen fish. Wildlife, like bears (12:42), also enjoy the region’s abundance of fish. A popular annual event is the Golden North Salmon Derby (13:10) in Juneau, held in July at Auke Bay and Tee Harbor. Sponsored by the Territorial Sportsmen, fishermen from all over come to the derby to fish the 3-day event. Requirements stipulate that there must be at least two people on each boat, and fishermen must bring salmon to the boat unaided. Participants head to the Tea Harbor weighing station (15:10) to compare catches. All catches become property of the Territorial Sportsmen, and the proceeds go to fund scholarships. Commercial fishing is the biggest industry, and it provides employment for 20,000 people each year (16:05). Traps are used in salmon passage ways to catch fish for canning in an operation called brailing. The protection of Alaskan salmon is critical in order to preserve this natural resource that is the backbone of Southeastern Alaska’s economy: commercial fishermen must release at least as many salmon as they catch.
