Gang: Here's a photo I took same day the video at Eureka Lodge was taken. This was at the new airstrip at McCarthy, Alaska, and Kennecott Copper Mine. It is a beautiful area at the end of the line. One of the reasons I like this photo is the Super Cub and gear of an outfitter or miner on the other side of the strip. I probably had enough fuel to get back to the Knik River, but don't like to take chances with fuel. Struck up a conversation of a fella that was flying one of the tour aircraft out of McCarthy. There was no fuel for sale for the public, but he bent the rules and sold me 10 gals out of their company tank. This fuel is haued in to the airstrip during the winter with the river is frozen. From McCarthy I flew back to Eureka Lodge with one stop in a borrow pit near the highway for a "pit stop". The Lodge closes the kitchen at 2200 and I was pushing hard to get there in time for some good food.
