Planning for a northbound adventure


We're starting to plan a trip north to Alaska in 322MX. There's a lot to consider. We'll be flying over sparsely populated areas for long distances. We'll be travelling through Canada which has a similar-but-different set of rules for VFR flight. The terrain up north is bigger and more rugged than anywhere in the lower 48. And we'll be camping in moose and bear country.

I've collected the necessary charts for planning. The Flying Fish has ordered up the off-road tires for 322MX. We're talking to folks who have made the trip and we're assembling our gear.

The trip will depend largely on the weather, of course, but we're aiming for a June/July trip lasting about 3 weeks. It feels good to be planning another adventure.
