Dan's Flight ANC to KTN; Part 2

Leaving ANC across from Girdwood

Dan's posting back on May 26th ("Dan's Flight: Anchorage to Ketchikan") was a story about bringing Jared's PA12 back to Ketchikan from Anchorage. Today we stopped by Jared's and were given more pictures that Dan took with Jared's camera. We wanted to post these new pictures from that trip for your enjoyment!

These next two pictures Jared took at sunset this winter in Girdwood. Just thought you'd enjoy seeing these beautiful pictures.
