    Minnesota family fishing vacation recommendations?

    I'm kind of partal to my neck of the woods, the Gunflint Trail. Fishing slows down a bit that time of year except for Smallmouth Bass and Lake Trout. There are several lodging options on the Trail. I'm going to throw out the most expensive; Gunflint Lodge. It has many activities available...

    Seaplane Base Management

    Thanks, I have passed both suggestions along. I believe that I have also found all of the publicly owned Seaplane Bases in Minnesota. There's not that many!

    Seaplane Base Management

    Haha: I already told her that if she had no luck in MN, that would definitely be the place to call! I think she should regardless as they are looking at making hanger and slip space available.

    Seaplane Base Management

    My local Seaplane Base (CKC) is owned and managed by the county. I am trying to help one of our Commisioners get in touch with a simular entity for advice on management and especially land leases on the base. If anyone could steer me to a County or Municipality owned Seaplane base, preferably...

    Wanted: ICom IC A200

    That may be a better option than buying a 220 if I can't find a 200. I'll get back to you in the near future. John

    Devils Canyon: Near Death Aircraft Rescue

    I enjoyed your story. I don't think it really matters if you fly only a season in "The Great Land", or a lifetime, we all have stories to tell. I only flew in Alaska for 7 years during the 80's, but it was the greatest experience of my life! I too have had friends suggest that I write a book...

    BWCAW USFS Search and Rescue

    The party was camped on Rib Lake. Beaver 2 found her on Dawkins Lake which would have been very difficult for us to get into, and frankly, that probably wouldn't have happened until day 3 or 4. She was very lucky that she hit the lake, and also that the rain held off until about 6am as she was...

    BWCAW USFS Search and Rescue

    It's been talked about before, but the USFS Beavers in the BWCAW do an amazing job. As a member of the Gunflint Trail Volunteer Fire Dept and SAR on the east side of the BWCAW, whether it is Forest Fires, Medical Evacs out of the Wilderness, or SAR, Henny and his crew are always there to make...

    Usfs beaver positions

    Well Amy, unless the USFS raises the minimum age to at least 45, or gives up and sells the airplanes and contract out the flying, I bet that job will be there for you!

    Usfs beaver positions

    It's funny that I got a Supercub.org update with this post, as a few days ago I tried to Weasel my way into a job flying the FS Beaver. Alas, I'm too old! No age discrimination with the us.gov. Guess you have to be 37 years of younger (for some reason classified as a Fire Fighting job and not...

    Gary: What a wonderful tribute. The photo most certainly reflects what is and was the "Greatest Generation". I had to say goodbye to my Mom last week, so it is fresh in my mind, a lot of what you must be feeling. Peace be with you my friend. John

    Bowman Fields (B10) Ski Plane Fly In February 12th

    I'm glad someone in the lower 48 has snow. My poor cub is just sitting in the hanger on skis, waiting...... If my skis would fit inside the cub, I'd be tempted to put her back on wheels and fly all the way out there to join you guys. I'm jealous. Have fun.
