Family's time is up, heading south




Bruce, Peter and Betsy became fast friends. Between microwave shelves, door jams, and plenty of dried salmon strips they were able to get in some good trips, good stories, and good hang out time.



 Packing up went rather quickly this year. It was much easier as everything had to go. Lily is "rolling" her bag across the drift to the awaiting sled.






Several double checks later it looked like we had it all!




 Saying good-bye to a fort building friend. Hopefully they will see each other in Oregon some time!



 Off to the airstrip for the last time with this crew....












This pilot was great. I stood back while he revved up the engine, taxied out to the runway and lifted off. He took it low, banked, and came right over me waggling his wings. What a great way to say good-bye.

    1. Not sure why, but glad it worked! I am way behind with this. Family has been home for a month now and they all hit the ground running and are doing well.
