Starting this to post both photos and videos of my adventures exploring Alaska in the SQ2.

My first Alaska gravel bar landing (not counting the Knik three years ago during the pre-buy) on the way to Kenai Fjords.

Flying among icebergs at the base of a glacier.

Very nice! Keep your photos coming, they are great inspiration!

Good to see you out in the wilds Phil. Great pictures!

This thread should be re-titled, "How To: Make All Your Pilot Buddies Jealous"

Please proceed.

My friend Bobby has already landed. You can see the iceberg area in the background.


Looking back toward the glacier/iceberg area.


Looking out toward the Gulf of Alaska.

Landing area was about 100’ and over some blocks of ice.


We came to watch this glacier calve.


Calving.


Am I really here?


Perspective.


Stopping in Seward for fuel.


The truly amazing thing is this was all yesterday.

Incredible adventure! Good for you! Heading north with a friend in our skywagons in just under two weeks

Your pictures are incredible, Phil. Keep 'em coming!

Amazing pictures and video, Phil! I know it gets said a lot, but you truly are living the dream.

You are SO right, and you can bet that's not lost on me.

Flew through the mountains to Homer today to have dinner. Saw Caribou, Moose, and Mountain Goats on the way. Flew the beach all the way back and found this cool spot.

Never in my wildest imagination did I think I’d tell a cabbie “pick us up at the Time Bandit”. They were trying to get her back in the water during high tide when we arrived, but didn’t make it.

Did I see you on the field at PASX yesterday gassing up? I was taxing for takeoff when you landed and asked about fuel.

That be me. Drop by my place anytime. If you see my truck and plane I'm home. 1400' grass strip just east of Scooters. Be great to meet.

Sounds good. I just bought 4 acres down the street from you by Morgan's landing. I'll PM you sometime, I'd love to meet up.
