Galena
Camp
Over
the next several months I am going to be living and working here in Galena supporting
our wild land firefighters. Even though
we will be busy, there will still be quite a bit of down time. With my being here and away from Kitty Wolf,
our art and wood projects are on the back burner for the summer.
These
big and very boxy buildings are commonly known here as ‘The Barracks.’ In actuality, they are military
barracks. These two buildings are not
just from the Korean War era; these buildings stood and were used in Korea
during the war. They have been around a
while.
I
don’t know when, but at some point in time they were dismantled and shipped
back to the US. Somewhere down in the
lower 48 they were reassembled and used for a while, only to be disassembled again
and shipped just about as far north as you can go. This is where these two relics have stood for
years and this is where these two relics will continue to stand.
They
are still in good condition all things considered. Kitty wants me to show you all my room also
but I will have to save that for another day. Yes, I am a slob and I will clean before I
take pictures.
The
small yellow building is our green house that will contain plants very
soon. The brown shack building is our
sauna. I was going to show the inside
but someone was using it. I won’t invade
their privacy but want you to see what Alaska ingenuity can create out of
nothing.
Well,
keep watching and keep reading. This
should be a fun summer. As a side note,
our blog had its 3000th view today!
We must be doing something right so I would like to say a quick thank
you to everyone for watching and reading about our lives and what Kitty and I
enjoy!
