Today's weather was not the best for flying thats for sure but a couple fat cat hunters paid well for a trip out to Big Lake Cabin and it was a short flight so thought what the hell. Got loaded up and took off out of Ketchikan. Winds arent bad but the clouds are starting to get more of an issue but not bad. Pretty none the less. Coming up on Gnat Cove looking North. Now on final approach to Big Lake Cabin, sure doesn't look like a big lake to me, gulp! Got her down safe, my passengers look a little green but we made it We got the 185 turned around and heading back out. Damn lake looks even smaller from down here! Up, up and away this little hot rod goes. Man this plane will get in and out of anywhere! Turning on to final PAKT now. Good thing too, lots of lightening off to the SW. Don't want to mess with that. Winds picking up a bit now too. Down safe and back home. Enjoyable short flight. Hope my customers don't end up bear supper tonight.

Very cool Todd . I have to say (and I'm not singling you out here) that I get a bit of a chuckle at what folks define as poor weather and short lakes . From my perspective (compared with the RW stuff I did), the weather is spectacularly good and the lake big enough to land a 747 on <LOL>. That's by no means a criticism, but just an observation . I WILL say this though - you're giving me the itch to get back into bush machines again. Damn, just when I thought I had it all figured out <LMAO>! Is it Tuesday yet??? Good PIREP Todd - thanks!
