I've paddled this part of the river in a solo open canoe in summer when it's a Class 3+/4-. Looks peaceful at -35°F, doesn't it?


Oh, my. Class 3+/4- in a solo open canoe?


Only if I'm desperate for a swim.


 
Over the Port of Anchorage taken around 4:15. Yay for longer days coming up! ;)

Landing a Beaver on the mountain on skis?

Ok, maybe not that exactly.
Bush-pilot northern BC, Yukon & Territories.
Heck, just getting my pilot's license would have had me over the moon.

Keep posting the beautiful pics Thor.

There's ups and downs to bush flying.

Are you in a place where you can get your private ticket?

I once wanted to have a plane and be a pilot, but I came to the realization that I work too much and wouldn't have time to stay current. By current, I mean "well practiced." Too many guys with a private ticket and a nice plane die when they do stupid things. For me, it's best to hire a good pilot to take me where I want to go. And I always tell the pilot that I've got extra coffee and cookies, should the weather be too bad to pick me up. No use flying into any hard clouds. I like a little gray hair on my pilot.
