A long day of travel today. The flight to Anchorage was beautiful, with clear skies and rugged mountains, ice-fields, and glaciers as far as you could see on both sides of the plane. However, a seven-hour layover in Anchorage turned into an interminable wait as there was no plane at the gate. Two flights to other towns were cancelled while we waited, and they kept extending the time for updates on the flight. Then a little after 8 pm, our plane showed up out of the blue (literally and figuratively). It turns out there was a bomb threat in Dillingham where our plane was coming from. That would explain the lack of any information. At about 10:00 pm we pulled into Bear Trail Lodge, tired, but happy that we did not have to spend a night in Anchorage and possibly lose time on the river tomorrow.
"Zee plane, zee plane, eet has arrived boss!"
