Having only been there twice myself, how busy does Lake George get on a nice Saturday? Seems like a place to really have your head on a swivel.

Fantastic video. =D>

Most people are diligent to listen on the CTAF frequency so it's not terrible....

Knik is a zoo on nice days and the weekend. I would swear half the supercub owners in the mat su and anchorage own them for the soul purpose of blasting around the Knik. Rusts, Regal air, run airplane flight tours up there every day. Knik lodge operates helicopter tours right from hunter creek. I avoid it at all cost.

It's not often that I watch a video and immediately watch it again. And again. Absolutely amazing footage. The music is perfect.
