Just a couple of miles out of town it was a beautiful, clear day. We drove down one split in the road until we finally hit snow that we didn&#8217;t think our little 4-wheeler would make it through. Not ready to head back in, we decided to explore out another road. We ended up at the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/VHF_omnidirectional_range\" title=\"Wikipedia - VOR\">VOR<\/a> station. In short, it&#8217;s a navigation station which allows airplanes to know where they are.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2007\/05\/keep-out.jpg\" title=\"keep out\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2007\/05\/keep-out.jpg\" alt=\"keep out\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At any rate, it seemed so very out of place &#8211; it reminded me how truly unique fly-in only locations are. There&#8217;s this crazy mix of traditional and western culture combining (if not colliding) to form the present. I continue to wonder what life will be like out here in 50 years.<\/p>\n<p>We headed down to Jason&#8217;s last night for a summer kick off. The teachers had a work day yesterday and are now officially on summer vacation. So, spirits were up. I was completely absorbed in the late night traffic jam at the airport&#8230; plane with broken wheel + plane with replacement parts = great entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>I think that Bill and I will shuffle through our belongings one more time today and make a plan for his departure at the end of the week. I&#8217;m betting the skies will clear up and I will get to enjoy one last night of Unalakleet sunlight.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2007\/05\/sunset-sky.jpg\" title=\"night sky\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2007\/05\/sunset-sky.jpg\" title=\"night sky\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2007\/05\/sunset-sky.jpg\" alt=\"night sky\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fog set in right on top of Unalakleet yesterday, so we decided to ride out the road a ways to look for the sun.
