Kodiak Alaska - Drive into town

[@brandy.kennedy]

Amazing how many memories of so many parts of your life can come flooding back to you just by watching a video like this. I was born and raised on the Rock, you drove by different places I lived, worked, went to school, hung out with friends. It felt like a time capsule opened.. thank you. Haven't been there in some years, but I miss my Emerald Isle 💚

[@ivyward6152]

Great video! LIved there and miss it! Such a beautiful place!

[@victoriag.werner6965]

Thank you! I’ve not been home in over a year and all my big life events happened on this island. Can’t wait to come back for a visit!

[@CastFromTheHip]

Victoria G. Werner Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy your visit! Kodiak is an amazing place.

[@Tararsupport]

Kodiak Island I will be there in my life. Love from Pakistan

[@TheEvilFungi]

My dad was in the coast gaurd. I live there from 93 to 99. It's a great place.

[@Alphons2022]

id you meet the Dutch special forces rescue divers? Must be a good dad

[@0patience]

Having gone to high school in Kodiak and leaving in the mid 80s, thank you. So many things have changed, but so many things have stayed the same.

[@GeistView]

Thanks for the memories. Was a CG brat living at Nimitz Park from the 70s thru the 80s. "Lookout point"? It use to be called "deadmans curve".

[@CastFromTheHip]

+Geist View Still called Deadman’s Curve by all the locals. Thanks for stopping by.

[@naksimii]

Geist View ohh yeaa

[@dalerowell9002]

Yes it was called deadman's curve when I lived there in the 60's.

[@jerrykeown753]

Kodiak is probably the most special place in Alaska. The wildlife, the land, the people.

[@redacted1402]

most of my dads side of the family lives in Kodiak, last time i went was june 2012, got the best news of my life yesterday, i’m going back in july after a decade of being away. I’m now 18, soon to be 19 and do photography i cannot wait to see what i find on this beautiful island

[@redacted1402]

my most fond memory was going out at 12am with my buddy and picking salmon berries from peoples yards, and probably finding the deadliest catch boat docked on a beach, that was mind blowing to me as an 8 year old

[@ron4255]

Great video. Brings back good memories. Spent 5th and 6th grade there over 25 years ago. Havent been back since. Mom worked at safeway. Stepdad was a coastie.

[@CastFromTheHip]

It’s a Coastie town for sure, glad it sparked some good memories. Thanks for stopping by.

[@davidjudd8906]

It’s been 62 years since I’ve been here as a young sailor, wow the difference.

[@freezinweasle1]

Wow, that brought back so many memories. If we wanted KFC when I was there, we had to fly to Anchorage. Loved Kodiak and miss it all the time. Were stationed there 92-95. Best times of our lives. Crab fest, Comfish at the Hangar on base, so much to do and see. Still have friends there. Dave Blain and a few others. I keep remembering things. The old crab processing plant at the bottom of deadmans curve and when you drove past the waterfront, I could actually smell the crab being cooked. Mac's gun shop, Eric Bergren. Thanks.

[@bell573]

Hi Mark I lived there in 76 and 77 worked on a old 85 foot power schow crab boat. I had a friend who worked on base and have been in the enlisted mans bar few times. We always appreciated the coast guard.

[@matthewhelm7690]

Still have my ballcap from mac’s, I was there from 89 -93. We were RM’ s back then. NOJ

[@TheEvilFungi]

my dad was stationed there from 93 to 99. Where were you located. we were in nimitz.

[@ГеоргийДорынский-ь3и]

Поражаюсь состоянию американских дорог!

[@matthewhelm7690]

Thanks you I was stationed on Kodiak For almost 4 Years , In the early 90s , best duty I had in the Coast Guard love Kodiak

[@CastFromTheHip]

Been some of the best times of my life, thanks for stopping by and sharing!

[@Sohle808]

Wow.. speechless.. This brings me back. Haven't been on the island since 2010. God I miss it so much ! Elementary to Highschool .. Best days of my life! Crab fest!!! The days where we just walk here and there, hang out by the docks. oh man...

[@randemoss3562]

Thank you for this! I lived my whole childhood on Kodiak and think of it often.

[@michaelbaker9415]

I used to live in Juneau for 21 years Kodak was one of the places I wanted to go see. Old injuries come back to get you and some times you can only see the places you wanted to see online and on TV good video

[@CastFromTheHip]

Mike, thanks for stopping by and glad you could enjoy at least a digital version of Kodiak!

[@michaelbaker9415]

@@CastFromTheHip I look for things like that from in Alaska to watch like the Somers out of North pole and My Alaska dream they live out on a island out of Auke bay just north of Juneau. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

[@dalerowell9002]

Wow has it changed. I lived there for a few years as a child and left there the summer of 1967.

[@Stubby631]

I was stationed there 84-85 and 87-88. What an amazing town!

[@veryrarevera1610]

I’m just happy that I saw my house 😂

[@CastFromTheHip]

Haha

[@gotsparks09]

My entire family misses the rock so much! Three years and we loved them all.

[@FoilDemon]

I miss the smell of fish on that one part of the road near the airport

[@naksimii]

6:00 KFC Taco Bell is now closed idk why but Oof :(

[@Alphons2022]

DId a lot of training with hH-60 and HH-6 and C-103 7001. Many years. Bless Midge Garber and John who passed away.

[@susancole4687]

Im visiting now.... love Kodiak🥰

[@InfamousAustinT0]

Thats a beautiful place

[@CastFromTheHip]

It sure is.

[@bayoubilly6971]

Awsome. I’ll be there in November for a hunt. Any suggestions on taxi? Car rental ? Thanks.

[@CastFromTheHip]

Thanks for stopping by, a lot of folks just rent a uhaul while they’re on island. There are also citizens renting out their cars to people in addition to the rental agencies at the airport terminal. Good luck on the hunt.

[@lamp-stand7]

I lived there in 1984-86. A lot of the same buildings, but different business names.

[@CastFromTheHip]

Thanks for stopping by and sharing. I'd say the business turnover is pretty high in Kodiak.

[@ronaldwilliamson7963]

Is the Wal-Mart in the shopping center?

[@bell573]

Brought back memories I lived there 76 to 77 worked on a crab boat

[@R.R.C.7979]

Did you know of the l.a.nuckleheads from Burbank California

[@raystinsky]

My first job was delivering The Daily Mirror.

[@lesterhersh7184]

I remember when that road was just gravel

[@naksimii]

5:00 u forgot Main Elementary in the left

[@jasonroberts5117]

Lived here from 78-84 in Nimitz Park and then Lake Louise. Anyone remember Captain's Keg?

[@CastFromTheHip]

Never heard of Captain’s Keg? I assume a restaurant? The business turnover in Kodiak is pretty high. Haha only town I’ve ever heard of who lost Taco Bell. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts.

[@brandy.kennedy]

🍕 Captain's Keg was such a cool place. No place like it!

[@gablespressurecleaning3497]

I was stationed in Kodiak back in 1983 when they open up the first McDonald’s......

[@alexi2047]

Are u still in kodiak

[@matthewhelm7690]

When I was there To get Taco Bell you had to go over to Anchorage , I’ve had ColdTaco Bell a few times from friends coming back from Anchorage

[@CastFromTheHip]

Haha taco bell went out of business…hot taco bell was nice while it lasted…

[@Hanif_A_F]
