Where do you fly the Caravan?

Someone has to ask
What is your favorite region, route,... to fly the caravan?
-
Initially, I planned to fly around Southeast Alaska, eastern Canada, Papua New Guinea, and the Caribbean... but I've found myself mainly flying the Caribbean (probably about 80% of my Caravan time so far), and coastal Italy. Both have been a blast. A lot of St Barth's landings.

@09tir98 Whereabouts? I had a nice rainy Petersburg-Juneau flight yesterday morning.

@RPGamerous So far I've been staying around the Anchorage area. Just did a trip to a 1400 ft gravel strip near McCarthy - no problem for the Caravan. I'm planning on making my way up towards Barrow and Deadhorse this weekend.

Mostly been flying around Ketchikan (PAKT) in the Amphibian.
With Northern sky's PAKT scenery there is a nice Seaplane base below the main Airport.@Wothan yeah I love those NSS sceneries... adds a nice seaplane base to Petersburg (PAPG) too, and I think the Juneau scenery adds that one as well.
Honestly surprised at how little Alaska flying I've done. I used to live in Southeast Alaska, and I have a barely functioning VA based there. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll have a custom livery for the Caravan and fly there more... but yesterday I was actually inspired to finally take this great plane there because the Alaska Air Transit livery appeared on flightsim.to. I'm eager to head up Lynn Canal to Skagway, and also up Portland Canal to Stewart and Hyder.

@09tir98 Yeah I've flown the Beaver around that area quite a bit, there are some great strips there (and a TON of freeware available too).
PLEASE someone make us a good Beaver!

Anywhere with mountains, and hills. The Alps, British Columbia, and Papua New Guinea to name a few.

@09tir98 Do you think the caravn with floats could do a 1400 ft gravel strip?

@slipperfruit I haven't flown the amphibian yet so I am not sure. I don't think I'd want to land on a gravel strip with those tiny shopping cart wheels though.

@slipperfruit I can take off from Nanwalek, which is 1800ft, but I don't need anywhere near the whole runway to do that.
