Winter flying
This was a few days ago on Dec 29. Heading south from town towards the Alaska Range before sunrise at 11am(the gps isn't adjusted to daylight savings time). Best day we've had in some time and a gorgeous pre-sunrise. I delivered 250# of cement blocks to a friends hunting camp just in front of the mountains that I use. I tried to fly down there this morning but had to turn around a few miles short as there was a pretty thick ice fog bank over the river and camp area. Too bad; I had my 24" PHE16 along and was going to chase ruffies on snowshoes after seeing tracks along the strip on my first trip down. I'll try again when it gets back up above 0deg sometime next week, hopefully.
