We landed on the Tanana to cheer on the athletes of Iditarod 53! We were at the right place, at the right time to help Mille Porsild find her glove by holding her sled! #Alaska #Bushplane #Iditarod

Alaska Trappers Association board is approachable on these issues. This year they are supportive (after meeting with the Alaska Wildlife Alliance) of restricting trapping (through the board of game) in a few Mat-Su areas with high recreational activity.

This video about Tebay Lodge in Alaska's Wrangell-St. Elias National Park is stunning. Added it to my 2025 trip list and I’ll stop at McCarthy while I’m at it

Who says you can’t have a great time and a picnic during the winter? We shared coffee, tea and a charcuterie board with our friends

Blue sky, sub-zero temperatures and fog over the river. Better than the Top Gun canyon run.

Foggy day with a de Havilland Beaver on floats on a body of water, approaching a gravel beach to park.

After being weathered in for three days, it is a relief to hear the low rumble of the de Havilland Beaver engine idling towards us. Then scrambling to load up because the weather window is closing and we don’t want to be stuck another three days!

2024 ForeFlight Recap! I landed at new places this year. Hard to pick a favorite. I always enjoy stopping at 49th State Healy and Mountain High Pizza in Talkeetna.

Flying into the Tordrillo Mountains. Skiing the Tordrillo Mountains. That is what is on my mind and my current Spring plans.

I went ice fishing and struck out. So I really went flying while taking the ice fishing gear for a ride. #Alaska #AvGeek #Fishing #bushplane

Hey Erik!

I’d say I learned that I made the right choice with 31” Bushwheels and a 160hp O-320. It was the flotation of the tires and the power of the engine that got me out of there.

Look closely, you can see the mud on the plane from almost getting stuck on this mud/gravel bar on the Yukon River. #Alaska #Bushplane #Aviation #AVGeek

How about Alaska Airlines buys Spirit, brings them into the Alaska brand like they did Virgin (and currently Hawaiian) and gives me more options on East Coast routes?

The Curse of Hope Don't open the box

I stumbled across Paul and his tetraplegic life after a climbing accident. The thought of surviving a tragic accident often crossed my mind. Give him a read if you engaged in high-risk adventure. He is brutally honest.
