PIREP Dave OneX: Transfer to McGrath & Straw 8 McGrath Iditarod McGrath


Weather arriving McGrath both arrivals 2000 overcast, visibility 2 miles in snow. Departed for Iditarod first light and flew to within 20nm then descended through a hole and flew at tree top level to the camp. When VFR stay VFR. If the CB radio is the truckers toy, then GPS has to be the pilots toy. Would never have been able to find the camp without it. Visibility at Iditarod could not have been any better than McGrath although the ceiling was broken to maybe three eight's at the most.

Departing McGrath for Unalakleet transition as I type this.
