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

Any card shops in Unalaska, Dutch Harbor???

Nothing exotic but extremely rural South Dakota. I like the camping spot with the red X. Therre are only a few farms within a several mile radius. The campgrounds has zero amenities, no water, no sewer, and no electricity. So on clear nights the sky is simply amazing with no lights for miles to ruin the view of the sky.

Camping in BFE is the greatest thing ever! I go backpacking and my friend always wakes me up at 2am and says some version of "look at the stars." of course I can't see anything without glasses and so I'm always like - "yeah, that's so great." lol

We like to backpack around Libby, MT in the Cabinet Mts. Also hiked the Eagle Cap Wilderness in NE Oregon. Photo is in the Cabinets. We summited Snowshoe Peak, and the flowers are near Snowshoe Lake.

Nope, no shops in Unalaska but I bought these at a shop in Anchorage 3-4 weeks ago. Only $0.50/pack, about 1/2 what they'd normally go for. I got all his remaining boxes, so he threw in the grocery display for free. It will land in my game room whenever I figure out how to get it home. Currently stored in a friend's office in ANC. Packs shipped home safely and have been great giveaways for the nephews and friends' kids.

I did once see fish plant processors in Akutan trading 1980s-1990s cards from their binders. Also delivered a Hoops pack to my customer earlier today. There are at least a few card hounds up here.

There are hardly any shops of any kind is Dutch Harbor. My wife was a little disappointed by the utter lack of “cute stores”. Not much beside a few marine gear shops, a very impressive Safeway, and a few bars.

Some really pool posts and locations. Thanks for participating
