Clean your plane... or else

Or else the local bear is going to smell that fish you forgot to clean out of the cargo compartment in your Super Cub and poke a couple of holes in your plane while trying to find it. I picked these pictures up from a couple of our avid readers and couldn't help but show them off. The damage is extensive, but doesn't seem structural. I must say though, popping the tires was just downright mean.
You might have thought the havoc wrought was the extent of the story. However, easily the most entertaining part of the pictures is the field repair job performed by what I can only assume was the owner. In addition to a couple of new tires he or she managed to pull off a pretty decent fabric repair job using what appears to be duct tape and plastic wrap.
So the moral of the story appears to be clean out your plane and don't forget the duct tape while flying in the Alaskan wilderness. Oh and if you have any more details on the pictures pass them along, we'd love to hear the full story. The "N" numbers have been left out but they ID the airplane as a resident of the great white north.
