...take beer AND take photos/video and upload to shortfield.com so we have them in the airstrip database for future reference.

I'm envious. Hope you took some warm clothes and a warm bag.

Chris, I've got some good pics of WB. I'll try to get them loaded next week while on my next trip.

Wison Int'l.!

Couldn't have had better weather for the week up there. Beautiful sun, calm, and warm! Tuesday a couple went to Chamberlain to investigate hunting there. Heard wolves talking all around. Wednesay went to Dixie town (for breakfast) and Elk city (for beer). Thursday went to Warren for lunch.
Had 8 airplanes (Super Cub, PA-12, 3 180's, 182, Maule and Dornier 27) on Tuesday night and six on Wednesday night (Dornier, SC, and 12 left and a 185 showed up) !
The down side - no steelies. Figures we would show up between runs. A few trout though. Not much game either unfortunately. A doe and some fawns were seen and that was it.
