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

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.
