Popular Post Stillwater Posted June 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2021 Here we have 34°C today. So I went virtually out to Yakutat, which looks a bit cooler on this summer day. Good that there is no Fly-and-MosquitoFlow over Alsek River. And the glacier with the same name looks like a welcomed refreshment. Directly afterwards we cross Grand Pacific Glacier. The peak to our right is Mt. Fairweather. Indeed, it looks fair here. Descending over Takhin Glacier... ... and over Haines... ... into the Skagway channel... ... and into the namegiving village. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanmo Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 You think THAT'S hot. Try the 47.7 Celsius I enjoyed this week in Phoenix. And, according to local news, it wasn't even our high for the week... 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys are so big the have landing gears and landing lights. T-Bone and Hilda eat them they swear it keeps them from wrinkling up. Yeah right, I do beers. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah right, I do beers. That is what I expected when flying over this scenery. I mean the biological part of it. I did not know about the diet of the Mule Team crew, but that also explains a lot . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adambar Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I would rather sit out in the middle of Death Valley and sweat my a@@ off with a chest full of cold beer than look at snow, just sayin'. Fantastic shots though Gerold. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand I am quite sure you have realized some improvements in the meantime. And the memories of your world trip are much better in every case, I am sure. Enjoy the fresh air! 2 hours ago, adambar said: I would rather sit out in the middle of Death Valley and sweat my a@@ off with a chest full of cold beer than look at snow, just sayin'.

And I prefer "fog" as a reason for flight grounding compared to "pandemia". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
