Snag: 2,600 MSL 800 feet long, rough, narrow.
Snag: flying down stream prior to landing, note Cessna 180 parked at the upper end.
Snag: cub parked at the upper end.
Snag: about 150 feet of takeoff roll.
Cottonwood: 3,000 MSL 363 feet long, 4 degree slope, rough, narrow, one way, uphill in dry creek bed, no go-around. Approach is flown in the creekbed. Photo taken during a drag pass before the first time we landed here. Surface is 5-12 inch channels cut in medium gravel with occaisional rocks and driftwood.
Surveyor: 500 MSL 850 feet long, rough, narrow. Surface is medium-course gravel with occaisional rocks and driftwood.
Banana: in saddle at 1,200 MSL 400 feet long, up hill, left dogleg, rough, narrow. Surface is tundra hummocks 8-12 inch height except along the landing track.
Banana: overflight perpendicular to strip, parallel to ridge.
Cherry: 2,400 MSL 500 feet long, 12 degree up slope, rough, narrow. Surface is rock and tundra hummocks 8-12 inch height except along the landing track. Photo taken from the landing aim point (standing on the ground) and looking uphill. Note caribou skulls used as markers along left edge.
Cherry: looking down from the top. The touchdown point for landing is not visible, being too far down the slope.
Moon Takeoff: 1,200 MSL 800 feet long, rough, narrow, snowcovered.
Moon Landing: 1,200 MSL 800 feet long, rough, narrow, snowcovered.
A mountain we call the Moon which has our primary strip on it. The upper peak is 1,800 MSL.
Approaching the Moon, trails to our base camp are visible and so is the strip (barely). Follow the trail up to the ridge where it flattens out and look for a brighter line running down the length of the mountain.
Moon: 1,200 MSL 800 feet long, 5 degree slope, rough. Surface is mixed shale and rocks with occaisional depressions. Looking uphill standing at the touchdown point.
Moon: Cub touching down.
Moon: Seen after a bit of typical early fall precipitation. Cross ridge winds can be a real problem here. Note the tiedown cairns.
Eli: A typical spot on the ice used during spring bear hunts.
