Workinman is on a distinguished road
Default Galena/2
Hello, I have been stationed at Galena twice in the Air Force. Once in 1971 and again ( volunteer ) in 1982. This place named Galena will never leave my memory I had some wonderful times there and a couple i would rather forget, but all in all,,,, fantastic and would love to go back and take a look around. At the time both in 71 and 82 we could take boats ( 18 foot john boats, 50 horse ) up and down the Yukon river, but they limited the mileage, 50 miles to Nulato ( downstream ) and 50 miles to Ruby ( up steam ). I suppose for gas and safety reasons. The wildlife in that area is unbelievable and the fishing ( i have no words ) out of control . Galena is a small river village that the Air Force and ( Gov ) made larger. It was a wonderful experience to see what happened over that ten year period of my deployments there,,, the changes !!! On my second trip i actually took a lot of pictures back to see if folks there remembered,, sure enough they did,, 10 years later,, funny Ever walk into a club at Galena and have to kiss a bear ( on the wall ) on the mouth to be excepted Just might go back there and look around again someday, I'm sure it's changed again.,,,, but i'll bet that time clock is still on the river for the ice breakup and i'll bet that the locals will still welcome me as they have in the past.
