    Default Valdez, AK trip

    Cub travel....some days you fly, some days you stay in the hotel and watch Discovery Channel, lol.

    Got to Prince George yesterday in great weather, but rain and low ceilings are keeping us grounded today Supposed to be better tomorrow. Next over night planned to be whitehorse.

    That means you'll have lots of time to upload for us all the photos you've taken of the trip so far, right?

    Well that explains where you are! I came by to say hey today and couldn't find you! Enjoy the trip. I love Alaska. I lived there for 7 years and still call it home from time to time.

    Jeff, I've been trying post photos but the new phone is not wanting to co operate. Unless I can get it figured out the pics will have to wait.

    Jason, I should be back in roughly a week.

    The weather looks much better today, white horse up the trench shouldn't be a problem.

    Pete: Get Randy to open the check-book up and get a Spidertrack. Supercub.org had over 20,000 hits in 4 days when Steve Pierce went up the highway to AK. Fantastic advertising! If you have a spot...give us the URL. Ralph

    Both planes have a Spot each. I think that link is probably Kyle and Kendra's in the C206. We are sticking together though. The 206 flys nice at 100kts with 1 notch of flaps, lol.

    Made it to white horse, right at 7 hours in the air today. Time for a steak!

    Next overnight stop, weather permitting will be Valdez.

    Did you like the trench? How about that DC-3 wind indicator at Whitehorse?

    Both were pretty cool Jason. There are some REALLY long lakes up here!

    Getting ready to leave whitehorse, should make Northway no problem but may not make Valdez today, going to see how the weather develops today...
