Good choice. Steve did an excellent job last year, in the face of some
very difficult weather. His Dehavilland Beaver is a very cool airplane.

BTW, Steve carries a .50 caliber handgun when he's in the bush, and he has
some scary bear stories, so don't believe anything that LaCourse says
(like using a camera for closeup bear photos). You'll be on your own --
not being baby-sat by guides.

Well in all, everyone has been a lot of help. I really do enjoy this
newsgroup, loaded with lots of experience.
Can't ask for a better advice,
