Been to some fairly remote places in AK, like Shemya, Adak and numerous small villages that are pretty far out of the way.
Least likely to have been visited by anyone else in this thread? I'm guessing that would have been Gambell, AK on St. Lawrence Island. I left the airplane (the one in my avatar) shut down for about 40 minutes, which turns out to have been maybe 10 minutes too long. I ALMOST didn't get back out of there, it was -40 and things got cold quick.
