WOW Warpt, you live in such a magnificently beautiful place. I never understood the beauty of the YK Delta until now, and I'm sure I still don't fully understand, but... wow. I mean, standing on top of that antenna, you could see the curvature of the Earth! That wind sounded like it was blowing pretty hard too. Is there any place now that you can stand on top of that has as good a view as that antenna did? Oh, and did you ever go up there? Or is it hard to get on top of the thing?

I've never been near that, just outside the fence many years ago. I'm scared of heights...

Yeah, I have a bit of an issue with heights. The first time I flew an airplane I was terrified because it was bucking and dipping in the air currents. Is there still a good spot in Bethel where you can get up on top of a high vantage point and look at the tundra like that?

You still have the old BIA buildings that people climb around, it's near the old Alice site.
