Hi from the Katmai Preserve

From Whitehorse through Haines Junction and on up to clear customs at Northway Alaska. Dodged a cell in Tok and hunkered down a little bit at Tanacross before heading through the pass to Gulkana. Got there on our reserve fuel and were happy to call it a day.

Next day we flew down the length of the Copper River - wow - to Cordova. Went back and spent the night at the foot of the Childs Glacier.

From Cordova to Valdez then out across the Prince William Sound. Detoured for an hour of mindblowing flightseeing over the vast Columbia Glacier, then on through Portage Pass and south along the Kenai Peninsula. Stopped for the night in Seldovia.

From Seldovia north to Homer, then on north past Anchorage and up to Talkeetna. Were happy to have someone else fly us up onto the Ruth Glacier and land within sight of the summit of Denali - in a 185 on skis!

Went to Anchorage to take care of a little business, and visited friends in Palmer.
Left Palmer to find more friends out on the tundra in the Katmai preserve - flew the north side of the Cook Inlet til we found the Lake Clark Pass, through the pass (hello bear!) and out the other side, down Lake Iliamna and across the tundra until we saw way out there past Igiugig - the Royal Wolf Lodge.

Well fed and well fished we're heading north again today. Maybe Nome is next...
