Did you fly somewhere cool, take photos, and feel like telling the tale to make us drool from the confines of our offices? Post them up!

Fish Lake report: wet

I just got back from a fun weekend flying and camping trip in Idaho with some good friends. Flew over Fish Lake and there was a small patch of standing water on the strip. Water was also along the sides of strip. Too wet and soggy for my comfort zone.

Cool photo John. Was that taken through a camera port? That sure was a fun trip!

Kevin and Pam might even make it home by tomorrow; they are having so much fun they just can't seem to make it back. :shock:

I mounted a GoPro on the belly with an adhesive mount and snapped some stills from the video.

The chocolate cake Sat. night was the best thing I have ever eaten!
