Where did you fly today?

[Rob]

Hi M6,
Been weathered in and outta fuel at Scoop before. Top notch folks for sure! Being the nomadic sort, I have no idea where I'm headed or for how long, just gotta be back in time to spray corn

Saw an incredible sight north of Teslin, flying treetop to the mountains we spied a nice band of Stone sheep. One straggler that was gimpy. As we circled to check out the straggler we caught a brownie working up hill on it. Had it not been for episs and flight plans we'd have loitered long enough to watch the drama unfold...

Stopped in at a friends on the Klutina, he owns a fish camp / charter. My sweetheart loves Reds, so I watched while she and Reagan fished:

And of course, I get the fish removing honors

And what would a touristy trip be without the obligatory fish wheels and eagles (my sweeties first northern travels)



Salmon were slow, so we headed south and west for trout, of course the good looking ones fished and I tended...

Lake was cold, and trout fishing wasn't spectacular, so off to AKT's neck of the woods for dinner. With a few stops on the way.




God bless airplanes, how else can a guy do salmon in the interior, trout in the Wrangells, and dinner on the coast?

See ya, Rob

More fun on the way to Cordova for dinner


The dinner view at the Reluctant..

Losing track of time we blast over to Hinchenbrook to beach comb and sift thru tsunami debri
Realizing we have been up longer than a person should we decide to blast over to Valdez to get rested up.

Spent a few lovely days at Moose Creek and Shearer with my son. Did some fly fishing, made S'mores and just had an all-round great time. I'm a pretty lucky guy.

Visiting the horses at the Ranger station:


Camping buddy:


Shearer:

[bloomah]

I bet you he will remember that trip his whole life. Nothing better then having great trips like that with the kids. Do enough of then and it will make it hard for him to not want to become a pilot.

Yes you are......and good for you on taking time to be with your son, he will remember it for a lifetime. The days will slip by faster than you think.

[iceman]

yeah I blinked and my sons and daughter were all grown... then one day in the blink of an eye,,one son was gone for good... cherish.. looks like a great kid you got there...keep him flying....

[soaringhiggy]

With memories like that you are rich beyond compare.

You lucky dog

[Rob]

gb, got the #, and if the Wx gods play right, I'll ring you up. BT, I like your thinking

Valdez was good, but flying w calling, so we blasted over Dan creek and Nizinas... All looked quite ? So we motored on up to McCarthy where another friend flies

Unfortunately he was no where to be found either, so up to Kennicot we went...



Then back to smoked salmon for lunch.... Yum

After lunch, and weary of poor fishing Wx we blasted off for Chelle lake.
Looked slot better than it did when it ate a certain troopers cub wish I had the cub, landing down by the cabin would be a lot nicer than up at the strip... Just a wee too tight for the 180...



Wind is obnoxious here... So off to Paxon, Summit, and the others...
Why my sweetheart wants to get spool close to the big cities is beyond me?

As expected, The summit lakes blow....and then it all becomes clear...
Can we go to Santy Clause' house she says.... Golly you'd think I brought my daughter...
Try as I might to avoid the big cities, Anch and FAI both get swindled on me .... And off to santas we go....


Reagan's had enough and wants a warm shower too.... Tomorrow we blow this city stuff....




Take care, Rob

Rob, which direction are you headed next.

[Rob]

Hi M6,
Sent you a PM.

BTW, on the way up to FAI we stopped in on the strip on the east end of Klutina the lake. Big thanks to whoever cleared back the brush ... With a little side stepping over the river (that was not possible before), what used to be a marginal cub strip is now very doable in a 180

Take care, Rob

Rob, if you have a comprehensive enough trip report, I'd ask that you make your own thread in Trip Reports. "Where did you fly today" is sort of a bulletin of less involved trips, whereas yours seems epic enough to be its own thread. Otherwise, it'll be buried.

Not today, but all last week.
