You might have seen by now that a first-gen Jeep Grand Cherokee wandered off an Alaska trail and had to be retrieved via helicopter last week.
It was stuck about 16 miles into a route that runs by Knik Glacier, sunk into the silt and meltwater with no other way out.
I spoke with the Black Hawk charter company that assisted with the job for my initial report, which explained that the chopper alone cost $8,250 to deploy.
Now, we have more info from the tow company that executed it all, as well as Alaska’s Department of Natural Resources.
