Wow, Its been a month since I've updated. Im keeping very busy, flying every day averaging about 3-4 flights per day. Ive been fortunate enough to have people wanting to fly up to the mountain the last four days straight. Its hard to beat being paid to have fun. Students can be stressful at times, imagine teaching a four year old to drive a stick shift from the back seat. Thats what it feels like some times anyway. Today, I had a couple guys a couple guys that wanted the bush experience, so I went out, did some stuff on gravel at Talkeetna, flew over a glacier, showed them a moose, and they were excited and said they wanted to move here and take up flying. Its amazing how I can show folks a thing or two and they think its just the coolest thing ever. Some days are really easy in that regard.
The house Im staying at has been great, I lucked into a great situation. It comes with a honda 110 that Im allowed to ride. The 10 minute ride to work takes about 45 minutes riding a trail to get there but its alot of fun.
There have been a few adventure riders passing through, it looks like I was one of the first to head north. One guy thanked me for encouraging everyone to leave earlier and thus ride in the cold. More and more bikes every day. The trip north was good but Im not excited about doing it again, just too cold, very few people on the road.
Thats all the time I have for now, I'll update this again in a few days.
