Right on about the ptarmigan and some mighty fine halibut fishing!

When I was there in '70 - '71 the Crab Boats would come every season as well.

Adak has all gone to private use now, no more USN or Air Force as far as I know.

you are correct Sir. there are only about 25 full time residents on the island. when the military pulled out they left entire buildings of furniture. it's a bizarre place to visit because of these reasons. there is also only one "store" which opens every other day for 2 hours. think large walk-in closet with some metal shelves and one reefer with hot dogs and some meats. i paid $13 for a bag of doritos on the trip when we got stuck. gimme a bit and i can post some pictures.
