I got the time wrong, thank you for the correction. Where was the wind from and the velocity? Did I read the ocean wrong? Looks about 15KT from the West?

When we were there in Summer the winds pickup in the afternoon/late morning, from my memory. Early morning was glassy.

Regardless great photographs, thank you again!

Tim, can you upload them just a bit bigger? Really nice work and it's fun to see closer details of everything going on in the shots.

few more from last evening.

The bear was not interested in leaving at all! After dragging the strip he ran over just to sniff my tracks. I felt safe after going for a climb up the wing and watching the griz running through the brush in the opposite direction.

If you don't mind me asking...where is this landing zone? Looks like fun but I have not noticed it in my trips through Merrill.

Right on the edge of Kenibuna lake in that grassy area. No evidence that anyone has ever landed there before. Was pretty darn soft

Last night.

Recent rains-Muddy waters on the Muskingum

Flying with the door open is amazing.
The island in the middle of the Ohio was said to have some old barns on it. I hadn't ever seen them until tonight. I heard that there are still tractors in them too that the farmer floated out there on a barge.




Beautiful evening.

With all the boat/water pictures being posted, here's one of a huge mansion (the separate caretaker's house is about 3500 sq. ft., for the hired help) on Flathead Lake, Mt. It sits on it's own little island, and all the heavy construction equipment had to be barged over, think about that for a second, that could get a little pricey. This was just the main house boat hangar, out of view was another structure with living quarters also that had room for 4 boats to be ramped inside. If you're going to play with boats this would be the way to do it! Inside and out of the water every night.

Ted, I am truly impressed! Winds where 17 knots gusting 23 from 276!


Normally the sort of conditions we expect around 2-3 pm, that day was just before the storms rolled in with much needed rain, a bit to much though as weve been in flood since that night

Saw that on TV the other night. Owned by. Real estate developer named Donald Abbey. Super impressive place!!
Its for sale for $78 mil in case anyone's interested.

Nothing special.
Just chasing around with a friend.

Went to 3 Shotgun Shells akA the high sierra fly in location. We also played around a little and then dropped justins airplane off! Flew to Auburn and then came home. It was a good day!











Last but not least!

those images from before but larger as promised

While I'm at it, this is not a where did you FLY today but more a where did you DRIVE today, but I got these couple of photos I thought you guys would quite like while on the road to Armidale this afternoon. I got treated to a quite spectacular sunset. there only Iphone shots and at 110Kmh so there not great quality by any means, but still nice.

Took the wife up as my first passenger as a pilot.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ NICE! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thanks Tim!

(a bit too stormy to fly around here yesterday, some rotation in this thing going by)

BRD,

I flew south of those BOOMERS from LAX to Boston yesterday in the 737, they looked pretty nasty from 37,000 feet. I was well south of them. Doesn't surprise me in the least that there was rotation in them. MSP arrivals were having a doosey of a time trying to get around them.

Good thing you have the Bushhawk on skis, ya never know when you may get a foot or two August snow storm
