coincidentally the books are 50% off so $49.99

beckoa is working on that angle.

He'll have to confirm details, but it is my understanding that we are all confirmed for the hotel already. I believe we're actually one room short of a group hotel discount (since one party pulled out a little while ago), but rooms are confirmed at normal rate at the moment and PMs will be sent out soon to allow people to put their names on the individual rooms that are already reserved. I believe the reservation has already taken into account those spending an extra night in DUT, but beckoa is managing that process, so contact him for details.

The possibility of using the TourSaver is being investigated.

I am leaving on Thursday, but there are actually a ton of things to do in DUT. Don't worry, there will be lots of things you can do that I'll probably be mad that I missed out on. Details forthcoming.

This wildlife viewing guide is well done and a good resource to get people thinking about sights they may want to see, etc.

Also, here are a couple of links to the NPS Aleutian World War II National Historic Area. Unfortunately the individual links on these pages seem to be broken, so navigating further is challenging.

link 1
link 2

Other useful NPS Links:
NPS Brochures, self guided driving tours
WWII Museum info (don't count on the hours)
Land use permit info
Museum of the Aleutians (also wouldn't count on the hours)

I took a look at the inks ANC RED-EYE posted and came to the conclusion there's more to do than one can fit into the couple days most of us are there.

And what is that normal rate at the moment?

In two weeks I'll likely be in DUT for a couple of days on a mileage ticket.

We are just 4 weeks away and the organizers need to nail down transportation in DUT, to the State Fair, the BBQ, the After Party Do, etc. They will also need to nail down the menu for the BBQ so........

If you have not done so yet, please add your name to the events you will be attending in the wiki on the home page. This will help to make sure everything goes as smooth as possible.

Arrival and departure info would also be helpful with car pooling an option for some.

That would be the fish bones and crab shells from the buffet, plus whatever good deals might be around. My experience is that the "Locals" have their own ideas of what good deals are.......It would be nice to see some good deals for the BBQ
