I'm not sure where Quent took this picture or where he was coming home from, but it's a cool picture of a helicopter.
Remember all of that talk around the presidential election about "the bridge to nowhere"? Well, this is 'Nowhere'. Nowhere is where the Ketchikan International Airport is located. We have to take a ferry a very short distance across the water in order to get to the airport. It's $5 per person one-way. The price goes up for vehicles. Some people live on Nowhere. A bridge really would come in handy. It's not 'nowhere' for us. So this is Quent waiting to go back to Revilla Island which is houses the Ketchikan city limits. What happens is you get off the jet, run down to baggage claim in hopes that your luggage will come off the conveyor belt in time to get on the ferry so you don't have to wait an extra 30 minutes. So he must have had to wait a little while before catching the next ride over.
A barge probably carrying our groceries and Wal-Mart goodies.
Even UPS delivers to Nowhere. That's the ferry in the background.
