UH OH...

A couple guys almost ate it a few days ago, ran out of space landing on a mountain top, tried to make a hard turn at the last second and ended up dangling off the side. Both made it out by climbing out the left side, no injuries. They were rescued in a short time by a local pilot. This was just a few miles away from Talkeetna. Airplane is a Taylorcraft.

Update...

Lets see where did I leave off...I zipped up to Arthurs's Pass, New Zealand for a few days, one day up to the top of Avalanche Peak.




A few days later I was in Brisbane. I stayed with some locals through www.couchsurfing.org then spent a few days in Surfers Paradise, on the Gold coast hanging out and one day of surfing, but I seem to have not taken a single picture of these days. Then a bus ride up to Fraser Island for a 3 day walk. Lots of critters around.



A monitor lizard, about 1 yard long.


Dingos, despite what a few people tried to tell me about dingos being a meter high at the shoulder, or taking your children, or whatever I could never get one to get close enough for a picture. They always ran away, were very skittish, and all were about the size of a small coyote.


Okay, thats all I have for now. I'm back in Talkeetna. The snow is melting and the summer season is starting to get going.
