VH-KDK Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 One of the places I visit in FSim quite often is Haines AK. So when I noticed one of the excursions from the cruise ship included Haines I decided it was worth a visit. 1. As there are only 2 roads out of Haines the one we took for the drive to Chilkoot Lake obviously didn't go past the Airport! 2. A view of the real Haines from the ferry jetty. 3. Flying along Lutak Inlet. 4. Driving along Lutak Road with Haines in the distance. 5. Approaching Chilkoot Lake with Tukgahgo Mountain on the left. 6. The Chilkoot River, a popular place for observing Salmon, Bears, Eagles and other wildlife. 7. A juvenile Bald Eagle leaving it's nest some distance from where I was standing. 8. A pair of Adult Bald Eagles flew into a tree behind where I was standing. You might recognise the one in the centre of the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
