The 15th Day ( was getting tired of the same heading so decided to spice it up a bit!!)

To begin the post I will give you a link that shows all the "spot" locations Jack has sent since he started his trip.

Apparently I had access to this link all along, says Sean, our most revered technical expert, but who knew... certainly not me. When it comes to all things technical I can manage a bit but readily am willing to admit, it is NOT my area of expertise. 

So sometime during the night Sean comes on to the blog and waves his magic technical wand and the blog instantly looks better. 

THANK YOU SEAN!  & JACK THANKS YOU TOO......right Jack!!

You can do all sorts of neat things with the spot link, select satellite image & zoom in.  

See if you can find the Falcon's Inn B&B on front street in Eagle Alaska ( it is on spot #50)

Here is his room with a view  at the Falcons Inn.

Before getting to his last stop he stopped in Chicken Alaska, sure not much to see there! No chickens in Chicken? According to this link only 7 left.

Some more amazing scenery along the way. Looks like Fairbanks is out of the question for sure, more snow there today. Tonight Jack was able to check emails etc at the local little library where there was WiFi....oh happy day.

Jack says there are allot of mines in these valleys, not sure how many of them are operating, this one looked abandoned.

Mining what?....gold, copper probably.

Not quite enough runway for those city tires so had to use some of the highway....did you come to a complete stop Captain Jack?

Along the way Jack gets to meet some very interesting and also adventerous souls. (when you count people in an airplane, you count souls...i.e. we have 20 souls on board)

This fellow is on his way home. Chip is flying back to Texas, he is a  very long way from home!!! 

He was at a fishing lodge and Chip has nice big TIRES!!! The kind Jack dreams about!! never mind if he caught any fish???

So when the weather is bad and visibility is poor pilots get the message from Flight Services that they have to fly IFR ( Instrument Flight Rating) meaning "Use the Instruments" you might not  want to trust what you think you see. 

Apparently here in Alaska IFR often means "I Follow Road" or 

"I Follow Railroad".

Today the weather cleared up nicely.

 Here is GEJG all tucked in for the night. Had to put its yellow PJ's/wing covers on as there may be frost. 

You might almost think that there were a several Minions  

lined up on the wings!

Jack actually found a Minion flying machine up there!!!!

You are one in a Minion Captain Jack!
