Day 30 Travel Trivia

This is the 30th day of Jack's trip and he is still going strong.

He has flown 7,379 miles

He has stopped at 34 airports

Most stressful moment, "getting past point of no return on flight from Cambridge Bay to Resolute, 4+ hours into the flight then being told by Resolute flight services, contrary to weather forecast, it was deteriorating in Resolute, low ceilings, snow. Could not go back!!...no where else to land, not enough fuel, so carried on. Made it through a "hole" after 460 mi.....oh well it worked out"

Other stressful moment, GPS over heating in unfamiliar territory having to remember heading and time to next destination.

Tonight he is sleeping in his little aeronautic hotel at Houghton MI airport which is across Lake Superior from Thunder Bay Ont. 

He will cross over into Canada  tomorrow  and head to Red Lake Ont to visit his surrogate son Braydon.
