Kennicott, AK - Workday and Hospital Poach

Day 69

Yep, another KGL maintenance day and the weather was decent.  The only unfortunate aspect was today’s the last full day of our stay in Kennicott, and possibly the last time we’ll ever be in Kennicott.  Well, we’ll see about that.

 

After dinner, I did a solo poach of the hospital as the remainder of the crew was either working or unwilling to break into the building after dark.  Yes, the darkness factor made the hospital very creepy, but I still managed to check out everything that was still standing.  Since my visit in 2006, the third flood seems to have collapsed more, sealing off half the building.  Also, the flood in November of 2006 had undercut a substantial potion of the western side of the building and it’s only a matter of time (and flooding) before National Creek claims the entire structure.

 

The day was finished with relaxing in Bonnie and Paul’s cabin.  It’s unclear when the next time is we’ll see them so we stayed up pretty late going over random aspects of life.
