Our quest today was to take a floatplane trip and check off another one. The first place we checked out only had fixed wheel flightseeing trips, but Beth hooked us up by calling a local pilot and setting up a last minute trip. John at Ellison Air hooked us up. We had a choice of an Anchorage sightseeing or multiple lake landings, we chose the lake trip.
We have video of take off and landings. I will try to upload tomorrow. large and need to be compressed
No vacation is complete without a visit to the local Harley store
Then we were off to explore Hatcher's Pass. 50 miles of backcountry, winding country roads up through the active gold mines.
Along the way, we found Jimbo's Food Bus and . Best deal around.
The magnetic letter where more than I could resist.

Once back out to the main road, we headed toward Denali on Parks Highway. Once we were headed toward civilization, we started to look for a place to stay the night. The internet options were looking thin, so we stopped at Trapper Creek. They recommended the Northland Inn and provided a phone number and soon we were in paradise. Airbnb #3.....
Beautiful 2 room inn, and the outdoor firepit was perfect.
Tomorrow we are headed to Denail National Park.
