Just a quick hello from Whitehorse in the Yukon. We've been flying since Friday as the weather allows, and hopefully the weather will allow us to get to Anchorage tomorrow. I can't begin to describe the awesome scale and remoteness of landscape we've travelled thus far. That'll have to wait to a later post - one with photos. :)
At the moment there's just time for the briefest of outlines, so here's where we've been so far...
Friday - left Paine Field in Everett, WA. Crossed the border at Boundary Bay, BC (south and east of Vancouver) from there we went east up the Fraser River valley (drop dead gorgeous!) and landed in Hope for the night.
Saturday - left Hope in low ceilings and ran north up the canyon past Cache Creek to Prince George. Camped for the night at Mackenzie.
Sunday - probably the most amazing day of flying ever - north up the Trench Route, past Fort Ware and on over 200 miles of uninhabited, undeveloped, untouched vast wilderness between the Canadian Rockies and the Cassiar Range. Landed at Watkins Lake where the fish are biting every 5 minutes and camped overnight.
Today - left Watkins lake and followed the Al-Can until we got socked in at Teslin. Weather cleared and we (along with another half dozen planes) ran the scud through the pass along the Al-Can to make Whitehorse.
