Flight Log - Day 221 to 320
Day 221 - let this be over
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.
