Been a tough fall up here. Fly safe all.

My 10 year old daughters first bear taken on Memorial Day.

$1350 for a helmet that doesn't come with a headset? Yikes.

My daughter (who turned 8 a month ago) harvested her first caribou this year. I am a proud Dad. :smile:

Dale used to be parked right next to me and we talked a few times. He seemed like a real nice guy. I hope they find him camping on the beach soon!

Congratulations Cory! I remember taking my wife for her first flight after receiving my license. I saw you coming in last night just as I was leaving.

Jim, I was hoping you would chime in as I saw that you live in Dillingham. Thanks for your response. I am looking toi chase Kings in late June. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I would prefer to land and hike rather than having to rent a boat. Thanks again for the...

Can anyone comment on the feasibilty of fishing the Togiak River with a Cub on wheels. PM's are welcome if you do not want to make it public. Thanks, Shane

One did the flying (fine by me), one flew rear seat, one watched from the ground, and one told me where the key was...
