The weather looks really good now. If it holds I'll be there Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
May 14,15,16, 2018 If anyone else has the same thought, come on over. I'll bet we will be the only planes there.

The whole Frank Church area is great.

I like hot springs hunting. I don't know who all is open this time of year. I'm sure McCall is open for biz. Moose Creek is easy. Warren is easy. Big Creek is easy.

That sounds like fun, but we arrived in Valdez this afternoon. We will be up there late June.

The weather guesser is messing with my fix. Yesterday it was looking good. Hopefully it will change again by Sunday.

Yep! Spring in the mountains! :D
I was hoping to make it out to Idaho this weekend (have to be back Sunday), but that upper low seems to want to hang around causing some overall instability. I'll probably stay west instead.
