This summer was very poor weather for flying! We had fires with intense smoke for most of June and July, which closed off the entire Upper Yukon Valley including my old haunts of the Porcupine, the Hodzana and the Colleen, then starting in August, nothing but rain.
I made a memorable flight out to Manley Hot Springs and pictures follow, highlighting the fall colors. Alas, this was my last trip - my engine seized up and is now in Wasilla for a hoped for repair. Next flights will be in the spring if all goes well.
