 |  |  | Alaska update: Seward Bunkers
< on 8/27/2003 8:11 PM >
|  | | | I got an offer to go to Seward (small port town at the south end of the Alaska Railroad) last weekend, and since I knew there were some WWII bunkers there I took it. I was able to rent a kayak and camp overnight at one of the abandoned military bases nearby, it was a pretty fun trip.

While driving to the beach, the kayak rental guy showed me a big drain tunnel that diverts a river around Seward, apparently the locals bitched about getting flooded out every year so the army blasted a tunnel through the mountain. Apparently it's only possible to explore it in the winter when it freezes, so I may have a reason to go back

| | | | Cool!
So that's the kind of stuff I can expect to find in Unalaska? (likely with a bit more grafitti)

| | | | Unalaska has two of those gun magazine bunkers, but I'm not sure how far they are from the town. Closer to town is a larger command post, consisting of an aboveground building and a buried situation room with observation bunker, I emailed you the link to the blueprints (let me know if you didn't get it, mail.com is buggy). There should also be a lot of abandoned barracks buildings and other structures, and some secure-document storage tunnels that may be accesible.
Don't be fooled by the locals into going up "bunker hill", it's just a small observation pillbox and probably not as interesting as the command post or the abandoned buildings.

Our home internet was finally restored last night, so I got the links.
Thanks! (and thank you HABS - gotta love that site!)
Interestingly, I think the site I'll be at was converted from some of the structures noted in the maps... I'll have to remember to pack both my good flashlights, spare batteries and the charger for the camera!
