This is Mike, one of our pilots. He is our second most senior employee. He has been with us for almost 10 years and has had some great adventures! One of the most notable adventures was a “quick” trip to Kaktovik to move a nuisance polar bear from the small town to its correct habitat. This bear had gotten used to ordering his meals at the Kaktovik garbage dump, which of course is bad for the bear and the small village. Mike flew 8 hours to get up there, worked with biologists to secure and sedate the bear and moved him back home via sling load, then promptly flew 8 hours back home! There are definitely some jobs that are worth writing home about- this was one of them.
PAHO is Homer, is where most of our Ranger’s live this is the route Mike traveled
I should move to alaska, but moving a few thousand miles to pickup polar bears in slings (wich unless this is added to IF) I am no whare near qualified to do… Would ba a hard sell to my parents…
Wow, we dont get eirth quakes here, actualy once one hit near DC, and it was mildy felt here, but I think it maby broke one ladys glass, and it was big news for like a month…
According to the USGS yes!
We had a huge one a few months ago which triggered evacuations along the coastal waters, thankfully the tsunami didn’t come. That was a huge rocker, it was extremely long. We had a good size on in 2016 several houses were lost due to it, that caused more damaged then the 7.9 quake. Think the entire state felt the 7.9 all over.
