Joe Beck picked me up around 10.30 this morning. He planned to fly me to Knik, a glacier. First we drove to his house, at the other side of Lake Seymour. He got his Cub ready, fuel, oil and moved it to his spectacular runway. Trees along on all sides, a road half way. I got my camera ready and we took of in eastern direction. I was in for the most spectacular sightseeing trip in my whole life! Amazing, incredible, I took about 300 pictures, of which you can see most of in this post. I got to see rivers, stream, poles, ponds, sandbanks, gravelbanks, and ice and ice and ice in all sorts. We landed at several places, I got to feel the cold water, climbed a little hill, saw motor guys having fun, moose prints, and even a real moose running away from us. Then we flew back, over many an airport or strip. I bet there are more airstrips here on a square mile, then in the whole copuntry of the Netherlands.We flew back over Lake Seymour, took some pictures of the Marks and Sheila's place, where I stay. And then another landing at Jope's homestrip. A cup of coffie in Joe's garden finished this unique meeting Alaska's Knik. Thank you Joe!
