Alaska: From Port Alexander to a lodge on Kruzof island

Featured Replies

Port Alexander is located on the south end of Baranof Island, 65 miles south of Sitka. It provides a safe harbor during the gales and storms that frequent Chatham Strait. It is also an ice-free port during the winter. Today Port Alexander is still a fishing community with a quiet, family-oriented lifestyle.

Kruzof Island is an island in the Alexander Archipelago in southeastern Alaska at 57°10′14″N 135°40′29″W. It is about 16 km (10 mi) west of Sitka and hosts the region's only volcano, Mount Edgecumbe. The lodge on Kruzof Island is privately owned and normally not open to visitors. But as we bring supplies to the residents, we are of course very welcome.

Another excellent set Bernd!  Do you have any seasonal add-ons to make the trees turn color?  It looks so nice.

My guess would be REX Accu-Season from Central . 

 

 

 

 

 

Grand set of shots Bernd .

Be careful buying Bijan's Seasons addon. He has stopped supporting it since about 6 months due to what I understand are serious personal reasons (which I fully understand), and some people now have issues with it running DX 12. I am one of those people and the sim will not load for me anymore with his addon. It also causes a loss of several fps (so if you don't have fps to spare this should be worth noting).

I missed the autumn colors so much that I went and bought REX Accuseason which is being regularly updated and has a more slick user interface. I am happy enough with it.

Thanks for the heads up Steve.  Appreciate it.
