June 3 Woke up to overcast skies but no rain. After breakfast I was on my way to take trash to the dumpster and ran into Grant. He wanted to know if I wanted to fly with him to his cabin. You bet! He did say that there would be a trade-off.
So off we flew for about 50 minutes northwest of Anderson Lake. I helped him get his dock squared away after the ice had pushed it up and over the pilings. It was a good way to test out my new chest waders. The cabin is really nice and sits on a very quiet lake. Grant showed me around and then it was time to fly back. I had a really great time! Grant pointed out moose on the flights, but I could only find one of them for sure.
We flew over a couple of rivers that were flooding because of the rapid snow melt last week. We saw a fishing resort that had 3 cabins washed away from the shore. I've included pictures of them.
While I was gone Peggy did laundry and bought groceries. This afternoon we went to an RV dealership to buy a replacement bubble level. One on our trailer was apparently broken by an errant stone when driving a on gravel road north of Carcross, YT. I did have a torpedo level in my tool box so we were able to manually level up the trailer. It's just easier to do it if there is a level attached to the camper that works.
We made preps for traveling to Denali NP tomorrow- filling our fresh water tank, checking tire pressures, etc. It will be about a 4 hour (200 miles) drive from here. Hope to get an early start in the morning.
