Narrative

MY WIFE RECEIVED A WX BRIEF FROM THE LCL FSS AND RELAYED A SUMMARY OF THAT TO ME VIA SAT PHONE THAT INDICATED THE WORST CONDITIONS OF MY PLANNED FLT FROM THE BROOKS RANGE TO FT YUKON AND ON TO FAIRBANKS WOULD BE A 3500 FT CEILING AND LIGHT RAIN IN THE AREA OF FT YUKON WHERE I PLANNED TO STOP FOR FUEL. I LEFT THE BROOKS RANGE AND ARRIVED IN THE FT YUKON AREA TO LEARN THE AWOS WAS RPTING 2 MI VISIBILITY AND 500 FT OVCST. AS I WAS UNABLE TO GET INTO FT YUKON; AND WITH NO ALTERNATIVES AVAILABLE; I CONSIDERED THE POSSIBILITY OF CONTINUING TO FAIRBANKS WHERE THE WX WAS RPTED GOOD. AT THAT POINT IT APPEARED I HAD ADEQUATE FUEL AND CHOSE THAT OPTION. APPROX 1/2 WAY TO FAIRBANKS THE WX BEGAN TO DETERIORATE AND I WAS FORCED LOWER AND LOWER IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN GND CONTACT; EVENTUALLY LOSING ALL SIGHT OF GND IN CLOUDS. AT THIS POINT I CLBED TO 5500 FT MSL; IN IMC; AND PROCEEDED DIRECT TO FAIRBANKS. UNFORTUNATELY; THIS RESULTED IN A 30 KT HEADWIND AND I BEGAN TO RUN SHORT OF FUEL. I MADE CONTACT WITH FAIRBANKS APCH CTL AND REQUESTED ASSISTANCE. I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET BELOW THE CLOUDS AND LANDED NEAR A ROAD WHERE I LATER OBTAINED FUEL AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE THE FLT IN VMC.
