Kijik Lake_version2 update
By Brent Hricziscse
====================================================
File Description:
Version 2_contains the updated AFCAD2 BGL
Kijik Lake, Alaska is located within the boundaries of the 4 million acre Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. It is 6nm north of Port Alsworth (TPO) on the NW side of Lake Clark. Two new cabins and homey wall tents are provided for hunters, fishermen, campers, hikers and explorers who wish to submerge themselves in the best of Alaska's wilderness scenery. This roadless and trailless wilderness is accessed by air service only. Kijik Lake has a new floatplane dock and a very landable dirt/gravel shoreline airstrip. Plan your next flight to Kijik Lake where you'll find a warm fire, a great meal and unsurpassed hospitality.
=====================================================
Created for FS9's default mesh, but works equally well with Eddie Denney's Alaska 2000 or 2002 mesh.
Scenery Compexity should be set to "Dense" or higher to see all the available campsite features.
Addon Scenery----with the updated "version2" AFCAD2 BGL:
1. Place the "AF2_KIJK.bgl" into FS9's Addon Scenery/scenery folder.
This allows FS9 to list Kijik Lake in the 'Go to Airport' list with all its available starting points, allows Kijik Lake to be viewable in the GPS and the map feature as well as installing the local NDB for navigation purposes. A tower view is also included.
*Update: In addition to the above, this updated bgl adds local radio communications for Kijik Lake airspace (ATC) and the start/approach points for Rwy's 01 and 19, a water start, and ramp parking. Also, local Boy Scout troops donated their time and labor to groom the shoreline, resulting in a very nice airstrip.

effects.zip__Nova Smoke
1. Put the effects files in the FS2004 effects folder. If you have used the animated campfire with smoke or other sceneries with chimney smoke, then you already have the effect files installed. No textures to worry about. The smoke texture came with FS2004 and lives in the Effects\texture folder.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kijik Lake
1. Place the Kijik Lake folder and its contents where you normally keep your add-on sceneries.
2. Open the Scenery Library in the FS2004 Welcome Menu and add the new area, navigating to the Kijik Lake folder using the browser.
3. Close, and then restart FS2004.
Go fly and enjoy Kijik Lake!

Guides, Outfitting, and Supplies
For stores offering the widest selection of goods, plan to outfit yourself in Kenai, Homer, or Anchorage. Stores in Iliamna and Nondalton, offering limited foodstuffs, equipment, and clothing, are accessible only by air.
Some merchants and lodge operators along the coast, in Nondalton, Iliamna, and on Lake Clark offer rooms, cabins, meals, guiding, and outfitting services. Arrangements should be made well in advance. Air and boat charter operators may also provide guides and rental equipment.

Lake Clark Pass is one of the main routes to cross the Alaska Range. It is without a doubt some of the most rugged beauty you will ever lay eyes upon. The Glaciers will leave you in awe.
The above lakes offer some excellant Sockeye, Rainbow, Lake Trout, Grayling, & Pike angling. Combined with a couple of stops at the above lakes, this is a fantastic Alaskan Adventure
Lake Clark National Park and Preserve encompasses approximately 4,050,000 acres. The national park contains 2,637,000 acres and the preserve 1,400,00 acres. Of the total, 2,275,000 acres have been classified as Wilderness. The Federal government has title to 3,352,000 acres. About 507,000 acres are under application under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act and the Alaska Statehood Act. There are also about 185,000 acres that are non-Federally owned. Of these acres, the state of Alaska has title to 95,000 acres; the rest are divided between Cook Inlet Regional Corporation, Nondalton Village Corporation, Iliamna Village Corporation, Pedro Bay Village Corporation, and Tanalian Inc. Native Group. Ten thousand acres of small tract holdings include Native Allotments (76), homesites and a farm, 9 patented mining claims, and 10 14h(1) cemetery and historical sites.
The Kijik Village site, on the northwest shore of Lake Clark, is the most investigated and significant archeological site in the park. It represents an Inland Dena'ina occupation at least 200 years ago and probably much longer. Its last occupants left in the early twentieth century and moved to Nondalton. The site is still incompletely mapped or excavated, and remains a site with significant research potential. Cultural remains have been reported along the Kijik River all the way to Kijik Lake, where the Kijik fish camp site has been located. Additional sites have been found from the Lake Clark shore up to the slopes of Kijik Mountain. All the sites have been included in the Kijik Archeological District which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The excavations that have been done at Kijik have revealed large amounts of Russian and American trade goods and a declining use of the aboriginal material culture. It seems that by this time that the relative isolation of the Lake Clark area from outside influence had been breached.
