Going to the old village and the point at Point Hope, AK

To get to the old village and/or the Point at Pt Hope, we have to cross over the airport runway.

We are in the car/ van/ 4 wheeler and we stop and look.  Does anyone see a plane coming in?  If we don't see a plane we drive across and then get on the rough road and hope we don't sink in the sand and rock.

They drop us off and we wander around to check things out and then hike back to where we were dropped off for pickup.

This is the plane I flew from Barrow to Pt Hope in.  People say it is the finest plane(s) for flying to and from village Alaska.  It was OK.  The ceiling is 4 feet high so walking inside is not easy.
