I had a simple Cessna 150 and flew it everywhere for the price of fuel. I slept under the wing and camped all over AK. At the time all I owned was the plane and a truck which also served as my home. I also used it to instruct in and would earn a good wage for the time since it was all cash and all mine. I would bounce from Wasilla to Birchwood to Merrill, always being hunted by the airport manager since they were not fond of independent CFI's. I would assign a student to fly to another airport after a solo where I would meet them in the truck. Eventually I flew it to the lower 48 and back a few times. I miss that little plane.
