Sitka, Alaska

"The Prospector" is so amazingly detailed, I couldn't resist going back the following day when the weather was remarkably nice. you can see his coffee pot and cup, and some writing on his rifle butt. I didn't notice the writing on the rifle at the time, but when I got home I was able to blow it up well enough to make out some of the words - it looks like the names of places in Alaska where gold was found. I was able to make out the names "Fairbanks", "El Dorado", "Bonanza", "Nome", and "Chicken" - there were several other names that I couldn't quite make out.
