Hi Austin, We also operated out of Lonely, Umiat, Liberty Lake, and several others I have forgotten the names of as well as the ice cap. A different world and a different time. Our runways were plowed strips on frozen lakes. Runway lights were #10 cans with a roll of toilet paper for a wick fueled by diesel fuel. I think the 130's needed 36" of ice but we needed only about 12" or so. Cheers, Tom
