    yup! Sitting in the hotel now, going to dinner soon. Amazing country up here!

    I think we are the first ones here.

    Had a great time in Valdez. Did not do as good as we had hoped in the STOL contest, placed around 7th in the official standing. The number was 140 feet, a 41 foot t/o, 99 ft landing. Better luck next year.

    We are on the return trip now. Made it to Whitehorse mon night, and down the trench to Prince George. Once again waiting for the weather to lift so we can get out of Prince George. If things go well we'll make YKM with one more day of flying.

    Pete, what were your hours enroute and what were the fuel stops? I may never get the chance to make that trip, but I can look at the charts and dream.
