(15) Leaving Cold Bay to King Cove

There is my sister Shirlee with two boxes of donuts for the family in King Cove-YUM!! I carried five dozen eggs in my carry-on and there was no breakage!! I had 10 lbs of potatoes on one of my suitcases. We just have to make the most of the trip cause things are soooo expensive down there.
Here I am climbing into the aircraft we took from Cold Bay to King Cove.


We flew over a blanket of fog the whole way from Cold Bay into the King Cove air field. It looked very beautiful. I just had faith that we were going to see the runway to land on.

(5) Arrival in Cold Bay

Not a good looking place to land.YEAH!! We finally see the runway and hope of landing safely!
I'm a total believer in the power of prayer and I can say that I did a fair amount of praying during this long drawn out flight. Prayer is a wonderful thing. I could feel the presence of God and had total peace in whatever might happen. My greatest fear was that we would have to land out in the middle of nowhere and have bears find us. (and you can only imagine what could happen then) I don't know about you, but I don't want a repeat of this sort of flight again.
