I stopped retelling about the Bonanza Hills, to tell how that country was in the 70's and 80's is simply not graspable. I guided and flew for Curley Warren, for years. Actually, Rick Halford originally filed for that Federal T & M site, and flew me out there in the early 70's to build a rough runway with hand tools. We did four species hunts (Brown Bear, Black Bear, Caribou, Moose) for $6,500.00 with near 100% success.


ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).
