Sorry to leave everyone hanging! had to travel for work today!

The Day of departure was finally upon us. We met at downtown KMKC before light and began loading the plane. We were Wheels up shortly after sun up. The plan for the day was to get all the way to anchorage since we were flying with the sun. Thats 2500 miles in one day, split between two Pilots into country known for nasty weather.
Our flight first took us to Montana for a fuel stop, then to Washington for fuel again, then to Ketchikan for more fuel, then to anchorage...

All of the flying was beautiful - we overflew the US rockies including a good look at Glacier National park, and then had sporadic but exceptional views of the mountains up the Canadian coast into Alaska.

hahahaha! ok guys I do apologize for the delay.
lets take a look as some pictures on the way up to alaska...
The weather all the way up to Ketchikan was quite nice, and mostly clear. Lots of good views of the mountains & lots of fires in the Rockies.
