Signs on Kwaj
The airport takes up most of the island's area with the air strip stretching for about two miles. It goes by the golf course (yes, there's a golf course), so that people have to stop playing when some occasional aircraft is landing or taking off. I was obviously not allowed on the strip, as I do not own a secured hat. 
This sign gives a rough idea of how far this place is from everything else. Not sure what the reference selection was based on, but now I can safely say that I'm about 2645 unindicated units (miles I'm guessing) from Petropavlovsk, a whooping 7156 uus from D.C., mere 3325 uus from Kodiak (no clue where that is) etc.

You also have to stop driving at the only stop sign and look for landing aircraft. Just one of joys of taking drivers ed on Kwaj! The other joys being never getting to exceed 35 mph, and learning to parallel park in a large panel van.
