Our final day together started off like most others, wake up, grab a cup of coffee, stare at some sort of incredible view, say some sort of “see ya later” to someone, and hop in the airplane. Well, this was kinda close. We woke up in Greybull, WY to a view that made me feel…

Yes, we all know the saying and there are even a couple of versions. This adventure seriously does not lack in the surprise department, as you have seen in previous posts. Sunday started out like any other day in life; you wake up early to the sound of birds, the light rustle of the trees…

Ok ok…lamest post tile ever. Some of the most amazing glacier views in the world were on our route from Anchorage to Ketchikan. We met more people along the way (have I mentioned this adventure has been made by the people we meet?) One was an older gentleman in a Cessna 180 in Yakutat who…

Just like the good ‘ol Dr Seuss book, life puts you in many interesting places. Friday was the first day we stayed put for over 24 hours. Absolutely nothing wrong with that! The day took us on a quick flight to Telkeetna, a town north of Anchorage for a late breakfast at the “Road House.”…

This morning woke us up bright and early for our Halibut fishing charter. Granted we took the 9am charter so that we could get an extra hour or two of sleep. It’s not the wussy move, it’s the “we are smarter than we look” move. A cold day on the water, the first spot we…

Life is nothing without the friends you have in it. You can do some amazing things in life, but if you don’t have anyone to share them with, what fun would that be? Our adventure took us through Dillingham (a small fishing village) where we met up with an old friend from Iowa – Travis….

Beautiful Desolation
We broke out of the clouds about 3 miles out on final for Barrow airport, to what we can only call a village in the middle of beautiful desolation. Arriving at the airport, there is no FBO, so we parked next to the FAA building housing the one “controller” for Barrow Radio. No number for…
