The owner is Winnie Alfor and she and her family could also be helpful in letting you know the "must sees" of the area. You can find a place for inquiries for the motel on google.com if you just type in Red Dog Inn and Alaska. You might might mention that you got the reference from their friend in South Dakota. We are still very close and I hope to return again soon. Enjoy!

My dear friend.
That period that was you in naknek I was also.
I worked in the D and D RESTAURANT and I remember a student then that worked as waiter in the restaurant D and D.
Her name was KATHY the JOY and her father was the priest of village.

I am currently working a documentary about he history of commercial salmon fishing, I actually worked a season in Naknek and eat at Red Dog Saloon. I am headed out there this season with video equipment and an idea, but need contacts and resources to make it successful. I need to interview people that have a legacy to the industry. Can you help me with my endeavor ? Any resources, people that have a legacy or a story that needs to be told, I am currently getting my contacts and plans together. Check out my trailer and please get back to me?

The people with any legacy to that industry in Bristol Bay died 50 years ago. Or more. You want legacy? You'd want to interview the guys that fished out of the double ender sailboats.

The old timers have passed away that fished out of the sail boats. A large ship would tow all the sail boats out into the bay. They would in turn sail around and net fish and unload on the large ship. The ship back then could sail right up to a long boardwalk to unload. They would then can the fish. There are a handfull of these old canneries still around. They are very cool to walk through and see all the old equipment and there are even some of the old sail boats still there (coffee creek cannery). After the earthquake the entire area changed and the long boardwalk was left high and dry. So the ships could not dock. I've got one of those old copper Swedish cook stoves they used to heat water or cook with in the sail boats. And many old bottles I dug around a found under many of the bunkhouses.
