Re: Looking for an IA in Colorado
Thanks again for the suggestion. Unfortunately, no one from Beegles had time to respond to my inquiry. So, I went with someone local on the field.

Re: October Trip to Alaska
Thanks again for the positive replies, especially to Bill & Hilltop for your offers. This trip, as any other, can only be made safely with the right mindset and proper planning. Having a wife and children always waiting for me at home, I take all precautions to ensure I arrive home & land sa...
