Maverick and Ruth

Dear Ruth the Van,

So much for that bath you got, all this snow means you may need another bath soon. It looked cold when you drove away this morning to take dad to work. I’m glad mom and I got to stay behind in the cabin.

Mom took me for a walk today, and it was super slippery…she even fell once while we were walking. She’s ok, and said that’s what we should expect in Alaska.

I stayed close to the heater today while mom worked. She said the internet is great, and people at work couldn’t even tell that she’s all the way in Alaska.

Stay warm!

Flying details for the pilots –

Tom is going to be flying the turbine (speedy) beaver. It’s called the speedy beaver because it’s limited to 122 knots while the otter is limited to 115 knots. He’s had two days of training, and got to ride along on a flight yesterday. Weather has kept him from getting to fly so far.
