It was a big day up here at sheep mountain. We moved 26 people into, and out of, the Talkeetna and Chugach mountains with the Super Cubs and Cessna 185. The weather did not cooperate yesterday so we were a bit back-logged this morning. The fog finally lifted at approximately 9:38 this morning ….. not that we were watching the clock or anything :o) It’s been a great season so far, so we really can’t complain about the weather. The hunters have had great success and nobody has gotten hurt. There is fresh snow on most of the peaks, and the weather out-look for the next few days is …. interesting. It is peak season for sheep hunting, moose hunting, goat hunting, caribou hunting, and even bear hunting. In recent days we’ve also hauled rafters, pack-rafters, and hikers. It’s still great weather for getting out into the mountains and enjoying the peak colors of the season. We are thoroughly enjoying our fall season up here on the mountain.
