Well, its been a while. Work has slowed down a bit. Bad weather and perhaps a slower economy have brought less students to Talkeetna this past month or so. I took the time off to learned to fly on floats.
We had one nice day
But more days have looked like this But even with rainy weather we manage to get some flying in.

North to Dead Horse

I took a short trip north these past few days. Past fairbanks, through cold foot, accross the arctic circle to Prudhoe bay and back. Roughly 1700 miles all together. One day of rain made for rough going in gnarly mud but most of the road was in decent shape except for the millions of potholes.

The first day was easy enough and I found a free place to spend the night. 500 miles done. The seccond day quickly turned to rain.

Atigun Pass was socked in and pouring rain. I was wet and grumpy when I got to the other side.

The bike had turned brown all over.

The second day was nicer weather and allowed me to do about 700 miles back home
