Flying people and equipment in a DeHavilland Beaver float plane into a remote loca-
tion in southeast Alaska to perform a boundary survey
change appreciably but the environment, weather and logistics can place the work
in an entirely different perspective. This can make working in such places very
rewarding.
In this particular survey, the property owner had survived a confrontation with
two brown bears a few weeks before. He offered to accompany the survey crew
with his 375 H&H magnum rifle. His generous offer was accepted without hesita-
tion. The bears must have been aware of this as they remained out of sight for the
duration of the survey.
