Not what you want to see when your plane is not on floats.  The wind blew it from the tie-down over a 25 " bank.

Getting It Out

Getting It Out

It was amazing that the "cub" flew the next day after the wind settled.  I run the engine and changed the oil twice.  The rudder had to be repaired on the bottom but that was all.  "God was watching out for me." This is really a "Super Cub".

This was a special time when Mark Confer and I went to help Steve Lanphier try to recover Don Renard's big Western Alaska boar.  The bear died looking out of the alder while Steve was bent down trying to look into the dark alder.
