Does anybody smell gas?


Chase and Hillary Bell, on the Lituya, stopped by the bay not too long ago.  We see these two once or twice a year and it's always fun to catch up and hear about their travels.  They were on their way back from delivering propane to a big residence in Hood Bay, so they topped up almost all of our propane tanks here at the lodge.  Our tanks took so much fuel that we ran the Lituya's tank dry!

 We were able to bring the propane hose up the boardwalk and fill the tanks on the deck this year--that saved wrestling the 170 pound (when full) tanks up the ramp from the dock the way we did last time.
 Chase seems happy to get started filling!
 As each tank was filled Jen and I would put it on a dolly and wheel it back to the propane farm.  We got all the tanks back where they belong just before it started snowing that day!
