The home of the show Flying Wild Alaska. An amazing and rugged spot right on the water. The locals have been kind in accommodating a bunch of weary, smelly old pilots. Time to get refueled.

McGrath was a nice ride. Lots of mountains on our way out of the Marabou area. Looks more and more like tundra the further we go north. Hope we can deal with the bugs.

Just to make things more authentic we overnighted in Marabou landing. The hosts that live near by made sure fuel was on hand for the fleet. It was incredibly quiet here. Camping worked out by the river and we a reasonably good rest for the next leg. 

On to bigger and better things today as we arrive in Girdwood, Alaska. We're getting to explore some mountainous regions which offer many challenging landing spots. The weather was okay today, but we are definitely hoping for better. We'll make a stop in Anchorage to resupply next and continue to a remote strip that many may not know exists.

We've made it to Kodiak, Alaska. Time to recharge a bit and enjoy our surroundings. Kodiak weather has been about what we would expect for this time of year. Areas of rain and fog are keeping us from really appreciating all of the sights. We're hoping for better weather ahead, but it's up to mother nature to let us pass.

Another uneventful flight today into Port Heiden. The bugs are getting bad, but the crew is in good spirits. We've spent so much time camping that I think the team is ready for a nice warm hotel when we get to Kodiak.

Welcome to the Alaskan Peninsula. We're overnighting in King Cove and hoping for good weather for tomorrow. Our flight today was pretty good. Mostly cloudy, but we made it without too much of a problem. We're just getting started here in Alaska. Will we decide to ever leave?

We made it to Fort Glenn today. Weather stayed reasonable enough that we could stay visual most of the way. The number of airstrips availalble from now on should satisfy the hungry pilots on my back. We'll be in good shape to find food and fuel for a while. I expect the boys are cold, so we're hoping for some in house meals and warm fires soon.

Other than a little ice weather was still in good shape as we made our way to Atka. The hardest part of the crossing is behind us and little glimmers of civilization keep popping up. We'll be nearing the end of the crossing soon and on our way to exploring the backcountry of Alaska. Just in time too as winter is ending. Next stop is Cape Field at Fort Glenn. An old abandoned airbase.
