    • Moh River, the Bute Inlet & the Homathko Camp

      Moh River, the Bute Inlet & the Homathko Camp

      According to the locals the Moh River airstrip located on the Bute Inlet was overgrown and not advisable. Well we decided to check it out anyway and to our surprise it was pretty clear but there was some surveying equipment on the field. We landed taking care not to hit the equipment and then started down a steep fire road to the inlet. After chilling out for a while it was time to head back and continue our journey up the inlet towards the Homathko River. We heard that the Scar Creek airstrip was washed out by the river a few years back and unfortunately that turned out to be the case. I had hoped that maybe there was 500 feet left but there was nothing So it was back to Homathko Camp for the night. I did do an expedition ride out the road next to the river (seen about 4:40) as far as I could but it got really overgrown and unrideable about five miles in.

      Homathko Camp Re Supply Flight Landing

      Landing the Beaver at Homathko camp at the North end of Bute Inlet. At heavy weights - the airplane weighs 2 1/2 tons loaded - , with full flap (and the Beaver has a LOT of flap), and in gusty winds, it is prudent to carry a little extra speed. The wind on the strip is almost always calm due to the sheltering effect of the trees but this is never an issue as the strip is 3000' long. There is a mountain at the far end so for most aircraft it is a "one way strip" that requires the use of a pre-determined "go around" point.
