By GENE KOOSER "Operation Icicle," the annual trek of Explorer scouts and lead ers over the snow to Camp Mc Loughlin at Lake O' Woods, has the aid of many people and in terested groups. Without such help, the project would not be possible. It was my good fortune to be able to help by piloting the plane for the air drop that sup plied food and other important supplies for the scouts. On Tuesday, Cliff Hanson, scout executive, 'and I made a survey flight to Lake O' Woods in the Cessna 120 loaned by George Brothers' Rogue Flying service. Our purpose was to make sure that we had a com plete picture of the problem and to work out all final plans for the crop. No particular problems were apparent, we decided. It took us one hour. Airplanes are wonderful! Bombardier of Day Wednesday, with Field Scout Executive Fred M c M u 1 1 i n, Grants Pass, as passenger and "bombardier" for the day, we left Medford airport at 3:45 p.m. We climbed and finally level ed out over Fish lake, and were over the camp in a few minutes more. The stretch between Fish lake and Lake O' Woods is rough, timber-covered terrain, and the engine immediately went into "automatic rough." (This is a 'mental condition that develops in the mind of "most pilots who fly over dangerous terrain. The engine, that had been purring as sweetly as a tabby cat on the hearth, sud denly starts making strange noises that your imagination can magnify to the point that some times you wish you were some place else anyplace else. It was all imagination, fortunately.) No Radio Contact We were unable to establish radio contact with the Grants Pass group of scouts that had arrived there just an hour or so before. However, signals from the scouts and leaders indicated everything was fine, and we made drops of five cartons of food. McMullin struggled with the boxes, removing them from the luggage compartment, at taching the static lines to the Forest Service parachutes, and prepared to roll them over the side on signal. The approach to the drop area had to be made along the north end of the lake, just above the trees and in a continuous turn to avoid collision with the hills. It must be low and slow, and the heavily-loaded plane keeps things interesting. To add to the problems, we had a strong west wind that was gusty. The signal site was in the lee side of Brown mountain, with a strong down drafts. The signal to Fred to drop the box was a sharp slap on the knee by me when we were over the proper spot. The first one landed just where we wanted it bullseye! Then full throttle and dig- to get out and away from that downdraft that would like to force us down on the lake a few hundred feet; then a gradual turn and back around for an other drop. The other four were uneventful. Suddenly Are Cold .When all the drops were away, we suddenly realized we were very, very cold. It was nec essary to remove the door on the right side of the plane for the drops, and although we were dressed properly, it was still just like the inside of a deep freeze. We point the noise for home, and 25 minutes later were on the ground. "Bombardier" for Thursday was Hanson. We took off at day light in 22 degree temperature. It felt like 22 below. Flying con ditions were good, and in a few minutes the sun came above the hills and continued to climb. This beautiful Oregon country is still more beautiful early in the morning from this vantage point. We were over the lake on schedule. Still no radio contact. Hanson anticipated this, and had written a note which he dropped on our first run. Drops were completed promptly, and we were glad very glad to get back on the ground. Hot coffee never tasted better. Thursday afternoon Hanson again was bombardier. This time we were supplying the group of Medford "and Ashland scouts who had just arrived. Target All Ready As we approached the drop area, we received a surprise. Neatly stamped out in the snow on the lake was a target about 50 feet in diameter, with the words , "DROP HERE", and a large arrow pointing to the target. Those boys were out of bed at 4 a.m., had a long ride, hiked seven miles over the snow with I I! 1 1 yf. v.v.wtv wx.j. eaBBaeBeMeaBaaVaMeiaK v v ttA6sa&am Galen G.

(Charles Birchfield Photo) heavy packs and still had the enthusiasm and energy to concoct such a target for us, we think to test our accuracy. Characters!! Hanson accepted the challenge. "Let's show them how to hit it," he said. We made three drops, one over, one under Snd another over all within about 75 feet of the center. Shucks!! Bet we get a ribbing from them. All Are Fine This time radios worked, and Bill McNeel, explorer leader for Medford Post 8, informed us everyone was fine, in good shape with no problems. Friday at 4 p.m. we flew to the lake to check on the condi tion of everyone. Radio contact with George irradeen, Grants Pass, showed everyone was doing nicely. Most of the boys were out on the trail near the base of Mt. Pitt. On this trip, and all others, we dropped copies of the Medford Mail Tribune. We also dropped copies to the group on the trail on our way home. Passenger on this flight was Dr. John Whitcomb, Grants Pass. , Further check flights were planned for Saturday and Sun day afternoons. Project Successful So far. the project has been very successful in all respects. We are pleased that we can play a small part. When we fly over the camp, and at first see no one, then suddenly notice about 25 scouts streaming out on the ice to wait for the drop, to hear the enthusiastic comments on the radio that everything is going according to plan, everyone hav ing a fine time, "please tell our folks" then we feel repaid for any efforts we have made. Yes, even getting up at 4:30 a.m. and flying with the door off in 22 degree temperatures. The Yukon, 2,300 miles long. is the largest river in Alaska and is fifth largest in all North America.
