Asking for Canadian pilots to chime in...
I'm planning a KBOI (Southern Idaho) to Fishem Lake (Twin Lakes alternate) trip for August. We are looking forward to a week of trekking on the East side of Chilco Lake. We expect to meet the rest of our party at a backcountry airstrip and continue the last few miles to the trailhead via auto.
I've reviewed the AOPA/COPA guide to cross border flights and I've got my eApis account. I am looking for a bit of input on a couple items.
Is there a price guide to available fuel stops, similar to what www.airnav.com/fuel/ does for the US?
I see COPA's "Places to fly" don't cover many of the backcountry strips. Any local knowledge of Twin Lakes CAG4 or Fishem Lake (?) would be appreciated. I've chatted with a White Saddles rotary wing pilot, helpful guy, but fixed wing perspective would be appreciated.
I need to order charts. The VNC chart summary doesn't show much detail. Would someone kindly look at their VNC chart and tell me the longitude of the East edge of Vancouver and the latitude of the northern edge?
Any comments on August weather for this area would also be appreciated.
thanks
