Small Plane; Lots of Gear

Is the flight in, at least it felt that way. Ultima Thule is totally professional, but once we were in the Amazon Jungle & our bush pilot just came from a soccer match, totally drunk, and flew us around a storm. I thought, this is how gringo's dissappear in Bolivia!

Another time, we helicoptered into Mount Assiniboine in the Canadian Rockies, there were so many clouds that we could barely see the mountains that were at our current flying altitude level. We took many quick turns to avoid crashing into a few! The pilot later said he probably shouldn't have flew, but he needed the money.
