Got a little chilly on the ground - hit -25F at the last place I landed, so I didn't stick around long.
So you weren’t dressed to stay a few days?

Was dressed warmly and had survival gear to stay if needed. Was still chilly, though!
Been a couple decades since I worked on that plane for the veterinarian at peters creek. You survival gear may burn up with the wreck.....

A friend in ANC who had a Twin Bee told me of landing in the snow on the belly without skis. In one case the snow was so deep that he couldn't open the side doors.Yep, skis are a lot of fun but can end up being a lot of work! Used to fly a 185 on Landes wheel penetration skis. Spent a couple of extra days on Shell lake one winter trying to pack a strip. Of course, staying at the Brinker’s place wasn’t too bad a deal. You know you might be in trouble when you can’t open the door because the snow is blocking it.
Interesting. Notice the wing tip, it looks as though the slats retract though I can't see how.The pic I posted earlier was during a breakfast flight to Afton, the hills shown I was landing on are Wyoming hills, over 8,000', you ought to see what their mountains look like! Anyway, while parking near the Husky plant, prior to the short walk across the highway to the cafe I've been going to for going on 40 years now, I always take a stroll thru the plant's tie down area, and saw this, something you don't see every day, or ever?
