That would depend greatly on what part of the state you are floating. For instance, if you're going up near the Brooks Range Coyote Air does drop offs. Every part of the state has guys that specialize in their region. For example, I wouldn't trust a fair-weather Fairbanks pilot on a Kodiak...
I have a lot going on this summer, but if you get to Valdez for a day and I'm down there fishing id take you for a day trip. The drive to Homer is amazing too, but with multifamily group you are right, a lot of logistics.
May fishing out of Valdez, June building my cabin in the interior and more fishing in Valdez, July north slope caribou hunt and fishing, August sheep hunt, September moose hunt. Now through August- get in sheep shape!
That is an awesome Ram! I got drawn for a sheep in the chugach area this year. I've been on cloud 9!!! Over 20 years of applying finally got one. Now the work starts!
