Getting there and back.

When heading toward town from the Fort Severn airport, after crossing a single-lane bridge, visitors are greeted immediately to their right by an airplane propeller and a ship's anchor propped up on a pile of rocks. The anchor was dragged in from the coast and the prop is off a DC3 that crashed right in the middle of town during heavy fog in 1975. I like to think the makeshift monument represents the remoteness of Fort Severn and the risks involved with travel North of the Wall.
