Some time ago I took the opportunity to raft the Middle Fork of the Salmon
River, then the main fork. Along the middle fork there are a number of back
country airfields, as there are few if any roads. The favourite aircraft back
there is the Cassna 182. A few other tailwheel planes were to be seen.
Alaska seems to be much the same for small aircraft. My choice would be a
150HP PA-18 with a full greenhouse (L-21), flaps, and a few other goodies.
