Ted,

Something you might want to add to your "Tool Kit" list. Light weight and
takes up very little space .... a full dispenser of dental floss. It's
better then thread and has a multitude of other uses - both mechanical and
first aid.

Ted,

Forget Banff. It is closed to all but emergency traffic. Same with
Jasper. Your best bet on entry to Canada is to clear customs at CYBW
Springbank - just west of Calgary. Of course you might clear at Cutbank.
Springbank is controlled and customs needs pre-arrangement but it should
work well. High River - 30 miles south of Calgary has lower fuel prices
and ME but no customs.

Watson Lake has a camping facility at the airport. Very nice with those
tiny delightful strawberries growing in the short grass.

Looks like a very interesting trip. I did part of it from Calgary about
1991.

Folks,

My family and I are planning a once-in-a-lifetime trip to and around
Alaska this June & July. I've created a website to chronicle this
adventure. While the website still has more work yet to be
accomplished, it is getting pretty complete.

I'd appreciate feedback you might have on any aspect of the site. I'm
working on the "Tool Kit" and "Camping" sections this weekend; any input
you have regarding tools and spare parts that you'd recommend I take
along is much appreciated.

I'll be on wheels. There aren't any (to my knowledge) places to land a
float plane here in Colorado, so it's just not practical for me to get
floats. In fact, I've never, ever, seen a float plane at any airport
here in Colorado!

If our planned route takes us anywhere near one of you, let me know; I'd
welcome the opportunity to stop by and say hello. I have about a
hundred things to do on the plane and such to finish getting ready. I
had grand plans to paint the plane and finish the interior in January or
February. Seems things kept getting in the way of that, so after we
return that's tops on the list...

Thank you!

Ted Waltman
