Yea, I'm in Dutch Harbor, that the place the boats unload in the deadliest catch. Life here is pretty slow, the town is small but it is fairly rich in history. You would think there would be a good deal more tourism since the airing of The Deadliest Catch, but the people seem to have failed to cash in on their stardom. Its basically a fishing town with a few canneries and a lot of boats. Personally I would love to purchase some land here and push a little for some tourism. There is so much here people would love to see. The wildlife is great, the place is full of bald eagles and Alaskan fox's. Not to mention all of the seals that like visit the bay and even the occasional whale. Unfortunately I haven't caught site of one yet. I spend most of my time at work processing fish or working on one of my other interests. Oh, and the vews here are amazing, the place is mostly mountainous terrain, with fairly gentle assents when you get to the top it seems like you can see forever.
Basically life is slow here, and the place is beautiful if you have the eye to see it. If you get the chance, visit, if you don't get the chance, well sometimes you have to make opportunities happen
