Pictures from the last 2 weeks
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!
Two weeks ago we flew up to my parents in Vancouver Washington to get my annual done. While we were up there we also did a lot of fun flying. I haven't totaled the hours but it has to be close to 20 between 3 planes. Anyways, here are the pics:

Nice trip report! You seem to be getting alot of use out of that 170. Nice work on bringing the dog home.... Looks like it was more than happy to be flying with you guys.

Rob you're my hero! Thanks so much for rescuing that dog!
THAT's the reason America isn't completely going to shit... we still have our human decency where many other cultures do not.
Now if you'd just kindly give me the name and address of whoever abandoned the dog... and the directions to the nearest guns & ammo shop, I'm going to put that human decency aside for a moment.

Excellent report Rob! Looks like you approve of the new prop.
Tieton looks like an awesome flying pooch!

I can't believe someone would leave such a nice dog out in the woods all alone like that. She's a really well behaved dog, she sits, she stays, and she hops right up in the 170 when its time to fly! We took her to the vet to get her checked out, she's at least 5 lbs underweight and she has some bad sores on her feet from being out there so long. She's on antibiotics and eating lots of food and seems to be recovering well.

Altitude is Time…. Airspeed is Life!
That's one lucky dog, I'd say...
and we enjoyed the pics of the 170 in her natural habitat!

Rob, you're the best

Very nice pictures, you hit some of my favorite spots. I was at Chuckar Flat just last Thursday and caught some nice small mouth bass, although the water is getting a little cooler and the fish aren't quite as active. Steelhead fishing is picking up at Bull Run, I may head over there tomorrow if the weather isn't too bad. Nice going rescuing that dog at Tieton. You've got a friend for life

Good Karma

She showed up a little after you left and was still there when it was time to leave the next day.

I saw some car over in the lot pull up when I was going to leave and it just sat there, no one got out of it that I saw.

Awesome trip report, Rob, and great job rescuing Tieton!
I was showing your pictures to my daughter last night and now she wants to go to Tieton so we can get a dog, too!
