Today we have our next checkpoint on the trail - Kaltag. For those that are keeping track of the checkpoints, you might notice that we've skipped one - Eagle Island. I don't know why.  But you'll pass right over it on your way to Kaltag if you stay with the river. Make sure you wave your wings when you do.

 

This should be a pretty nice flight up the river. It might be a good chance to practice your gravel bar touch and goes.

 

Enjoy.

Iditarod 17 - Kaltag

 

 

Between Grayling and Kaltag checkpoints, is Eagle Island Checkpoint.  Perhaps we can loop back there next week?

Nice flight, grabbed aerocache then landed at airport and got out to go exploring. Took long walk into town, nothing special there. Bad plan!

 

Note to self: Do NOT EVER EVER take long walks with weather set to "Among the Giants"!             :Doh:

I just flew it and it said #16 - Eagle Island!?!

 

Tried to land after getting the AotD, but the bushes crashed me. Too much coffee... and I paid for it! :lol:

I just posted the AOTD again. This time it is as Meshman said, Eagle Island. Something funky is going on with the squirrel in the cage at MSG. I guess they will get it straightened out as soon as they can.

After reading Meshmans post I went back to check and he is absolutely correct. They changed it after it was up for maybe 45 minutes. Anybody that was really quick got both and can probably take next Thursday off.
