Reminder: Bring your floatplane to K21 for our 9pm departure tonight. Although this flight's about enjoying the scenery, here are three trivia questions for those that like them:

1. Which blunder was sorted out by international treaty in 1842? (Clue: We start there.)
2. What kind of bear is associated with the highest mountain? (Clue: We fly past there.)
3. How did King George of Britain become Queen of America? (Clue: We finish there.)

As always, answers and guesses can be shared during the flight itself (not here!).
And if you want any more trivia questions tonight, bring your own!
