Fly into Ram HeadFly in to MacMillan Airstrip using Alkan Air Navajo. (Leave Whitehorse about 9:20, arrive at airstrip about 10:40). Picked up at MacMillan Airstrip by Stan and Meghan Simpson at around 12:30. Fly to Ram Head Outfitters at Godlin Lakes (arrive around 1:30 — Sandy and Stan spot a wolverine from the airplane). Fish the upper Godlin Lake (nothing) and the stream flowing out (lots of Grayling). Late for dinner — which time zone are we in?
