Hmm, interesting page. I live in Larsen Bay, alaska.. It is rumored that Chinatown in the cannery is haunted and that many chinese hung themselves because the were going to be sent back to china. nice job though good pics.

Really nice pics of Larsen Bay. I commercially fished there in season of '93. Too bad cannery is closed now. That was the busiest summer in a long time. Next time you go, check out the lake for rainbow trout.
