- The question will be: WHICH MISSION DO YOU WANT TO GO ALONG ON FIRST?
A --- Ron is planning to fly up to Alaska summer 2020 in the 208 Cessna Caravan Amphib. This video describes 1 of 2 substantial side missions that may be included in that trip, or on a following trip in future years. This mission will be to explore strategic parts of Kiska Island where almost no one can access and where almost no one, if anyone, has been. Ron will attempt to land and document WW2 artifacts that had been left by the combined US and Canadian Naval invasion force, which landed on this beach and liberated the island in the spring of 1943.
Kiska Island is located in an extremely remote region at the end of Alaska's Aleutian island chain that splits the churning and dangerous Bering Sea to the north and the open Pacific Ocean to the south. The climate there is engulfed in a unique semi-permanent low-pressure system, which yields constant high winds, heavy rains and dangerous foggy weather conditions.
B --- The next episode will give an overview of the other planned mission, which would be to travel to the Northwest Territory's northern edge in an attempt to try to locate a certain unfound relic of the famed Mad Trapper the Rat River.
