Busy Beaver

So, I've been a little busy. Sorry for the silence. I have about two minutes right now, so I'll just tell you about this one photo. It's of the AK pipeline, somewhere in the Livengood area. That's a town that sprang into existence ~1914 due to the (late) discovery of gold. The town does not exist anymore. It's just a DOT maintenance camp, a (closed) general store, some small scale mining operations, an old pipeline construction camp, and a road intersection. I was up there flying around in a helicopter for work. This was the second day of flying and this helo did not have a door attached on my side. I have flown in a lot of helos for a lot of reasons in a lot of places. But never with the door off. It was exciting.
