Maybe this is a dumb question but is their anybody who offers flights to G.P from Red Deer or Calgary?

WestJet and Air Canada come out of Calgary. I don't think they fly direct, though.

Forgot Swanberg, I think they go out of RD

Wow, West jet and Air Canada are like $85 each way and Swanberg is like $250?

That's nuts!

I don't think they fly direct, though.
AC has 4 direct flights daily to YYC (calgary)

You can drive there and back for like two hundred bucks from calgary, haha. Burn about a tank each way.

That is what i did over the Christmas break---actually went N/W between Peace River/Fort St John(HighWay-64) to my folk place.Air Canada wanted 1000.00 to fly though Edmonton and it would take about 6 hour to get there,then my pops would have to drive 2 hour to come get me---i was there in 10 hours,just over 1035KM from Calgary---round trip took about 19 hours of driving and 275.00 in diesel(.10c more than home---average was .92c/ltr).

Yeah, did the drive to GP back in october, fairly nice drive, was about 7 hours there, and around 6.5 back.

Hey DWeiler, are your folks out around Hines Creek? or not that far?

You mean after waiting for an hour in Crossfield, and then another two hours in Red Deer for you? Twas more like 10 or 11 hours there.

Yes,about 20 minutes past----RR #83 just west(on the way to Fort St John) past the Worsley turnoff at the end of the dead end road---pops has a 1/4.They bailed from Calgary during the boom,cashed out and head up there,cold does not bother them as they have lived in the NWT when i was a little dude.Sister is just outside of Rycroft,has her PHD in Environmental Sciences---works for some environment testing company out of GP .DW.

Cool, pretty near neighbors. :):):) I've worked out around Worsley off and on over the last 10 years or so, so can kinda picture their turn-off.

Different country up there/peaceful,i could live there but i would have to work on the MRS[director][director][director].Land is pretty reasonable and i would be in my glory with all the hunting i could do on my own land.Sister is getting married in late Sept so gonna put in for my draws and make the wedding a 2 week hunting trip after.With the amount of wildlife i saw last year hopefully i can fill my tags in no time.DW
