My favorite place in Alaska is the grain terminal. The terminal is outstandingly tall: in fact it is 218 feet. It is located on the second largest floating dock in the world. My friend Johnson first told me about it in July. We then climbed up it. On the top was a smelly hornets’ nest; of course we didn’t touch it. Then Johnson pulled up a chain from the side of the wall. At the end of the chain was a heavy door. Then we dropped it off. After that we climbed down. I’ve never climbed up it since.      Skylar Graika
