This just in: Iniakuk Lake has frozen over for the winter. It takes a while because Iniakuk Lake is 5 miles long, 1 mile wide and 200 feet deep. For those of you quick with a calculator that's roughly 280 bazillion cubic feet of water. Of course the whole thing doesn't freeze solid, just the top 4 feet or so, still quite impressive. In past years we have flown in massive wheeled airplanes Johnny Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17070698705823778150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36666144.post-1162273187325447682006-10-30T20:22:00.000-09:002006-11-01T12:30:41.143-09:00Paradise FoundThere are no roads here which sounds terribly impractical at first, but as soon as you lift off in a single-engine float plane you will see it as the blessing that it really is. Bush pilots are a different kind of pilot, and with rare exception, they fly because it is what they love to do. There is no 401k, no union, and no fleet of attendants and Marriott Inns to look after them.

The DeHaviland Beaver on floats is about 5 minutes out with guests on board who have never been to Iniakuk Lodge. It's show time and we're ready; the lodge is spotless, food is prepared. As I run down the beach, the plane circles and lands into the wind, turns and taxies toward shore.

Hal Waugh as we circle over Iniakuk Lake makes me choke up. We've owned the lodge since 1974 and I always feel priviledged to be here another summer. The air is crispy fresh and the lake, which is 5 miles long and a mile wide, glistens in the midnight sun.
