Hey Phil, you may want to check TFR and Notams through Alberta /northern BC. We are having a ton of fires right now. One north of me a bit, and a big one near fort st. john. You may have trouble passing through this way and may be better off going through the trench. Not 100% sure on that, but worth checking into before getting up here and having to wait.

Smoke blowing in from FSJ.

McMurray fires made the national (US) news this evening. Looks pretty nasty.

Appreciate the heads up David. I knew the great weather along the entire route couldn't hold.

Did you get my email about stopping in your area?

Happy to put you up in Albuquerque if you happen by. should be able to provide hangar space also.

Haven't made the trip yet the way I planned it

I have to admit, I have kind of stopped developing a plan, because the more time I spent on it, the more deviation the trip required. The last trip down the trench was as close as I have come yet to what I had envisioned, just had to divert south through Lake Clark pass to Kenai then up to Tok instead of heading strait for Fairbanks. Toyed with trying the coast down, but the weather, as usual looked pretty marginal. So now, I just start the trip and see where the weather develops. The only good thing about it being such a log trip, is that diverting doesn't seem to be as big a deal

Fly safe.

We have fires north of Fort St John but it is flyable you can fly around it, The winds have been strong. The guys are on there way back from Valdez tomorrow if the weather cooperates, we are suppose to get a little rain.
