“You guys have too much $#¡&” the pilot said. I wasn’t sure if he was talking about the yellow lab, my bags or if we were even supposed to hear what he was really thinking. Anyhow, I arrived to New Stuyahok on Sunday afternoon. It took about an hour and a half of cruising at 175-180 knots on a Beech 200 Twin Turbine. The plane was plugged-full with food and other essentials that people need in the village.

 

 The pilot had to unload some food and other supplies to make room for the dog, luggage and ourselves. 

On Monday there was no school. Students and staff had a four day weekend, because this community is highly Russian Orthodox and they celebrate Easter a week later than the norm.
