The day Andi left (and at her urging) we bought an airplane - a 1974 Bellanca Scout. It is a 2-seater which can carry us and a few hundreds of pounds of gear around 300 miles. You might notice the tires are big (Alaska Bushwheels) which allow landings away from prepared fields - i.e. gravel bars, beaches, tundra.
Its quite a nice machine to get out and around Alaska - way off the road system.
In the first two months of flying its gone to Denali, Fairbanks, the Kenai (Homer, Seward, Kasilof), the Knick Glacier area (shown in the photo - more of a camping trip here), and the west side of the Cook Inlet.
Oh, and it also came with skis for the winter. More to come....
