In Alaska I landed on the Dalton highway


In Valemount, Canada, the local airport was too small (or too rough?)
for the skier from Texas who flew in with a twin-engine plane. So the
Mounties blocked the highway--including Valmount's main street, as I
recall.

Guy taxied right into the motel parking lot and parked near the
helicopter that would take him skiing for the next six days. Wife or
girlfriend stepped down, wearing sunglasses that made her look just
like Jackie O.

Didn't get a chance to talk to him; we were outward bound, by bus.

all the best -- Dan Ford
