Through a friend of a friend of a friend, I was introduced to Rick Horstmann, who is a pilot for K2, which is located in Talkeetna, Alaska. He's a damn nice guy. I hung out with him at the airport in Talkeetna. I was lucky enough to get on one of his flightseeing tours to Mt. McKinley. In addition to being a great pilot, he was a wealth of information regarding the geology and natural history of the area. This guy has my dream job. He retired from the navy after they decided he was too old to continue having so much fun. He's been flying for K2 ~10 years. In addition, he's also a musher. He's competed in the Iditerod Dog sled Race, among others. In the winter when he's not flying, he and his charming wife, Linda, offer clients a chance to experience dog sledding. This guy has way too much fun. He offered to put me up for the night in his guest cabin. I couldn't refuse. I'd spent enough nights in my tent.
