Hey Dennis- Is the fella with the mustangs still there? I got a story about an interesting day spent there.

Kurt Kurt, I will be around. There aren't that many of us so I will see you- might not know you but I usually meet everyone at some point. Between pulling people off the Caravans (Wrights) and transporting folks to the float pond to talking to them in the office I get to see everyone. August is MUCH busier so we'll see how it goes. Nobody with mustangs or at least I haven't heard the story. I will inquire tomorrow!

What's the scuttlebut on the 210 that sank in Wild Lake? Really a 210 or did the FAA botch the reporting, again?

Dennis emailed that it was in fact a 210 and it is in fact at the bottom. He can fill in more.
No fatalities, though.

Glad to see you're having fun in the neighborhood. Any idea when you're heading back outside? If you find yourself buzzing on floats around down towards the yukon feel free to drop in. It's a bit of a ride but just over the hill by Alaska standards. I'm between Ruby and Tanana.

Dennis, Thanks for the photo of your Pike. I tried to respond to your email, but remember your short time with a connection. Have fun Buddy, you are sure in God's favorite country.

Yes, an older 210 WITH lift struts. I can't find the tail number. His phone was in the bottom of Wild lake so he couldn't call out. I heard a rumor from some fisherman that stopped in for fuel so we hurried over to check on the rumor. He was OK, a little cut up from crawling through the broken windscreen. Plane was 30' deep already when he crawled out. His wife watched the whole thing from shore. They neighbors saw it and jumped in their boat to rescue any survivors. When I talked to him he had not yet talked to the NTSB so I won't share any details. Wild lake is 500 feet deep in the middle. That plane is there forever. I'm just glad Marty is OK.

I have some internet in the early mornings so I can occasionally get a photo or two out. So far only Pike and lakers on the hook. Can't wait to get after the sheefish. Had some for dinner a couple of nights ago- fantastic eating.

Yeah, I was being a little vague on purpose. Figure Dennis can PM me if he wants more specific directions. 😀 Of course on the 120 miles of river between Tanana and Ruby there are only two places that are occupied year round, so we do kind of stand out a little.

Engine quit, the only 210 on floats? Curious?

No, most of the rain missed us. 9 people drown in Payson Saturday, flashfloods are more dangerous than folks think! We got 1/4" here at the house. Bettles, meanwhile has had some bad electrical storms with their own wildfire an all!

I heard some thunder last night north of here, but it was far off. That's probably what Bettles was getting. Smokey here this morning. I'll have to check the fire map again this afternoon once the planes are up and around reporting anything new.
