Forty-eight hours and nearly 40 inches of snow ago I
link caught my first sight of the coastal town of Haines aboard a small single-engine Cessna 'Grand Caravan' an actual minivan
link of sorts just like the name but with wings. Deafeningly loud and smelling of aviation fuel and wet boots the belly of this craft on its weekly
link 'milk run' was full of UPS and Amazon packages destined for remote Alaskan towns like Ketchikan and further north Sitka.
