Today if you needed to travel to our area in Rural Alaska you'd have to fly. Why? Because road systems are nonexistent in this part of the world. You'd have to use one of the few commercial airlines that fly out regularly to Toksook and the surrounding villages.
Below is an aerial shot of the village and the bay. The pilot had to circle to see where the wind was coming from. It was a bumpy ride and my fears were maximized when we had to land from the south side.

The Airport is in the middle, right-side of this picture. It's shocking for lots of new visitors when they see how close the airport is to the village, not to mention how short it is.

Approaching the airstrip from the south side means that you have to fly right over the cliffs and the Bering Sea. It's never a good view when there's the slightest turbulence.
