After a week of cold, rain and snow in Whitehorse we finally made it to Dawson Yukon. Stopped at Braeburn aka cinnamon bun strip.

Good for adjusting CofG.




Airstrip at Dawson is interesting.

Tires are getting bigger as we go north.



And interesting solutions for gravel.



And a 737 with the gravel kit comes into the airstrip (5,000ft) making a dramatic cloud of dust on landing.





Will hike Tombstone range tomorrow but winter has come early this year, lots of snow and have missed peak colour on tundra and will not go further north - next year.....

Great day hiking in the Tombstone range north of Dawson.

Looks beautiful!

Another great day flying over Tombstone range up to Chapman airstrip on the Dempster. 60nm shy of arctic circle.

Only "Real Men" get that far North. Hopefully I can get there...

Good show Mate!

I guess I'll try something different.

Yukon bush plane



Still on the roll 4000ft later



Placer mining tailings



Mt Logan 19551ft



Kluane Park near Haines junction

Stopped at silver city. A helio on skis flies into icefields around mt logan. Andy Williams (in photo) used it to support research camp at 17,000ft.



Spoilers linked to ailerons, stall 26kts,
Twin turbo chargers.


Back in BC at Atlin, sorry to be heading south -great colour on mtn sides and still an hour more of daylight here.

What a crazy terrain feature that has become! It kinda reminds me of a sliced ham, and now my mouth is watering.

Those things always reminded me of snail turds.

Great trip, 31hrs, 1800nm
The light in the north is wonderful, seems a little dark back here in Vancouver.
A couple of days of rain in Stewart but last day in sun with tailwind.

Totally radical trip. Great work!
