OT: Where are you posting from/most random net54 post location

[Rhotchkiss]

I just responded to Ted’s T206 Matty Dark Cap thread when it occurred to me how crazy technology is and how I can be so far yet still post on the board I view daily.

I am currently in Unalaska/Dutch Harbor, Alaska. It is in the Bering Sea, 800 miles west of Anchorage, and further west than Hawaii. It took my wife and I 3.5hrs by air from from Anchorage to get here. We have no phone service and have to buy a very expensive hotspot to get internet, which only works at the hotel. The island, which is totally beautiful and awesome, is full of deep sea fisherman, all of whom think we are crazy but cool to come here as tourists. I don’t know why we came here other than we could (and we were already in Alaska). I hope we get home!! Below are two pictures off my GPS showing where I am as I type this.

It would be cool to see where everyone is as they reply to this post; kind of like one of those thumbtack maps you see in restaurants.

Post a GPS shot of where you are as you reply to this thread- let’s see the geographic diversity.

And, feel free to tell a story about the most random place you have been and/or posted or viewed net54 from

How close is that Ryan to the Shishalden volcano that is currently erupting?

You're at the center of the TV show "Deadliest Catch" which is about crab fisherman. They seem to have mobile phone service even on their boats in the middle of the Bering Sea. Say hello to Sig.

Nice! I’ll be back up there Saturday, then onto Akutan Monday. If you think DH is remote, it’s Manhattan compared to Akutan. Guessing I’ve posted from both at some point(?)

That Optimera wifi may be expensive now, but you should’ve bought data earlier in the year (or prior years). It was $25 for 1 GB, but they’ve got competition now that the fiber optic cable operational. Onward and upward!

Enjoy your trip, it’s a special place (as are most in Alaska), with some really good people. I’ve had a lot of great and colorful memories there.

Sorry, no real exciting location here. How cool to be checking in from the land of Deadliest Catch. I've only been a member for a few years and don't have any exotic locations to report(there's always hope).

Have a great trip and safe travels as you circumnavigate the earth.

I used to work a bit less than 3 miles from where you're at (BASF).

it’s a small world. The Raleigh Durham area is growing like crazy these days.

[Rhotchkiss]

Ian, thanks for the PM. Literally, small world! My wife and I ate dinner in that bar last night. Woke up, looked outside and saw a huge otter swimming in the small inlet outside. Cool place.

Brian, yes, we are close to that volcano. And they had a 7.4 earthquake a few nights ago that sent out Tsunami warnings all over the coast; we were in Seward which was outside the warning zone, and nothing manifested anyway

Small world indeed! I live right down the road from you in Cary near Park West.

No kidding. I’m actually in Fuquay Varina here. Easier to say Raleigh lol. We’re neighbors!

That's great! Will you be at the show at the Fairgrounds this weekend? Actually, I think it starts today. I've been a bunch of times, but rarely pick up anything. It's mostly just modern stuff.

nothing exotic about Spokompton (Spokane), except maybe we are surrounded by tourist destinations in Northern Idaho. If you ever come to visit, make sure you visit Boo Radleys. That's where the real tourist souvenirs are located, and across the street is the garbage goat.

Question: I have a friend that lives out your way as well. I asked him, “can you see the Milky Way out there?” and he said he can see it from his backyard.

Now I’ve traveled and been around the world, but I must say, I’d love to see the Milky Way at some point…

On Irish Rail headed for County Clare and the links.

All my posts since last November have been from Djibouti. Before coming here, I was told it was the hottest place on earth that has a permanent population, and I do not disagree; now that we're getting winds out of the west, off the desert, it's the only place I've been where the wind blowing makes it hotter.

[butchie_t]

I post in a place where the temps have been over 110 for at least 3 weeks now and no end in sight.

And that works for me.

Circling back to where Ryan started this thing, I'm posting from Dutch Harbor/Unalaska.

From here I'll be making my way to Akutan, by way of Akun to its east if by air, or by a more direct route if by sea. As always, this leg of the trip is TBD, which is part of the fun .

Mother Nature had the best of us today. We'll try Tralee tomorrow.
