Tim,


For several months I've been reading the journals of Richard L. Proenneke, who lived in remote Alaska in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. All of d*ck's supplies and visitors came in much like this. Growing up with a father who was an Army 'fixed-wing' aviator, I know all is good if #of take-offs equal #of landings
This looked to me like avery scenic spot, we'll look forward to the rest of the story sometime.

Best Regards
jim

Great video. Looks like a Cessna 180 or 185. I used to own a C180 and it was my favorite plane I've ever flown. It would haul anything I could stuff in it and still take off in 700 feet. My son did the Flathead last year. He said it was breathtaking!

This method was much easier (but costs a lot more) than the 15 mile hike over a 7000' pass to the other fork of the river a week later.
