Cool Cove Town

~Elfin Cove, Alaska (taken with my old Nikon camera that used actual film--they had those in the olden days)
Tyler and I visited the place you see in this picture in the summer of 2001. It's a tiny little town nestled in a secluded spot west of Juneau and it's called Elfin Cove. It's somewhere in the middle of a boat-load of ocean and a butt-load of mountains, near the northwest corner of Chichagof Island. We stopped off for an hour or so to look around while on our way to fish for King Salmon. It was one of the coolest little towns I've ever seen in person and one day I'd like to go back. It has a year round population of about 35 people as I recall and of course the only way you can get there is by boat. I think I'm right about the population, but I'll check that out and report back (I also have to report back on the deck re-do project, the barn lean-to project, the distillery project and a few other projects: I better get busy or someone's liable to start thinking I'm making this stuff up!
