Well, yes, to those of you wondering. I'm still living in the school. Unfortunately, this morning I woke up to sewer smell coming out of the drains in the school. Where I'm living. Aniak is completely shut down. No school plane. No maintenance people coming. No bat deterrent. No one answering phones.
I did what any person just one generation removed from the Great Depression would do. I covered all the drains with an assortment of stink stoppers. Not cured but deferred.
I went for a sanity relieving walk. For such a small village, there is a lot to see.
As I was saying about the boats here, 3 of the 4 of them are homemade from mainly plywood and strips of lumber. Here's one being made...or it might be here permanently.
The old satellite dish has a roadside view of the new satellite dish. Once something gets here, it never really leaves- just slowly becomes part of scenery, only seen by visitors.
A well established local family has created a beautiful oasis here. This gazebo has mown grass around it, a picnic and play area and a beautiful home.
Fish processing station on a float, right down by the boat launch. All salmon, no guts.
A beautiful trail to a lonely cabin. The suburbs of Stony River. It's hard to believe that the pandemic even exists when you're here. I can definitely see the appeal.

All drains have a water trap (up and down zig zag in the line where sewer gases coming up are blocked by water). If you pour water into the unused dry drain which has "lost" its gas trap due to disuse and evaporation, it will again block sewer gases.
