This has been some kind of fall. Crazy wx.
Been working on a cabin across Cook Inlet. Jim Hartley knows where it's at. Hope to have it useable next year...would be fun to have a Tribe Get-to-gether. One of my 4 boys and I spent 5 days working on re-assembling the structure. Rigged a pulley on a cable between 2 trees and used a block and tackle to "fly" the trusses into place...poor man's helicopter! Will have to wait for good ice and ski wx, then work on it some more. It was snowing on the plane when we left the lake on floats. The good wx turned nasty before we accomplished everything we hoped to do, but it was a good start. There was a skim of ice building on the edges of the lake when we got home...cutting it pretty close. The plane is setting on the float trailer in about a foot of snow. These pixs are indicative of the area. The snowy lake shows the boys, last winter, using a plane to tow a boat loaded with disassembled cabin structure. The 10,000 ft.+ volcano in the background is Mt. Redoubt. The plane on floats shows the wx we had for 4 of the 5 days...the cloudy pix shows what we were running from. The plastic jar with the flagging shows the nastiest mess of old cheeseballs you have ever tasted...! One of our good buddies dropped them to us...what a guy! Saved us from starving...! The cabin is nothing fancy, but its setting is pretty nice. Dick
