You know you are in Kodiak when....

  • When traffic reports are replaced by the FISHING REPORTS
  • The water on the floor mat in your car is frozen
  • You automatically remove your boots when entering someone's home
  • You use flat-rate priority mail boxes more than envelopes
  • In Winter, you know who is taking their Vitamin D and who isn't
  • If you don't already have auto-start on your vehicle, you wish you had it
  • You know what a Coastie is, and it doesn't mean you live near the beach
  • You know what Xtra Tuffs are, and you have some
  • You have to do the Kodiak Stomp before entering a store
  • Just because you have a ticket to fly, doesn't mean you will actually leave that day--"weather permitting"
  • It's cheaper to buy DVD's than to have cable TV
  • Store clerks actually wish you a "Merry Christmas"
  • You hear people complain about having to drive "all the way to the other side of town" (10 minutes)
  • Traffic congestion is 3 cars at an intersection
  • Your car doesn't have a chance to warm up before you arrive at work
  • When looking out the window is more reliable than the weather forecast
  • You go to work, church, and shop with the same people
  • Driving a rusty car is "no big deal"

Silvery Frost at Silver Creek Falls

Part of our quick afternoon outing today involved Silver Creek Falls.

Unfortunately, we arrived 45 minutes before they closed the day-use area. Fortunately, we were close to the first main fall. Unfortunately, the trail that leads to the fall was closed/blocked. Fortunately, we could still get a picture of the falls from the upper view point. Unfortunately, the fog had rolled in pretty thick, making for a difficult picture. Fortunately, we had 3 cameras on hand between the 5 of us, so hopefully we have a least one good picture. Unfortunately, our stay was short. Fortunately, because it was dusk and quiet, we saw four beautiful chocolate brown doe on the way back to the car. They were content eating and weren't bothered too much by our presence.

I think the leaf and the falls are cool. I hope next year we can find a workamper job in Oregon. You will have to let us know where on the coast would be a great spot.
