Cool! I assume rides were smooth with no wind. That is one big hill for sure.

I went into McKenzie Bridge airstrip for a one-night respite. Beautiful evening and sights along the way.

Just got back about 2 hours ago - hauled a Husky from the Orlando, FL area to here (Brainerd, MN) fighting that stupid tropical storm almost the whole way... Left Leesburg, FL Wednesday evening about 7 and made it to the FL/GA line. Then got from Valdosta, GA to Chicago yesterday (by way of Winston Salem, NC) before hitting the wall of no light and T-storms around 8:30 pm. Left after a line of T-storms this morning and fought 15 to 20 mph on the nose all the way home. Ugh, might need to do a trip report at some point, but only had iPhone for pics.

I had intended to head north to scout some strips for hunting later this fall, but the low clouds these past few days have stymied my efforts. It turns out that my last-minute backup plan wasn't such a terrible alternative.






The glacier-carved rocks were so cool!

I could handle that too!!!!

Wow. I can't compete with any of that. but I did see a coyote on my last flight. I'm in training for my PPL and did my first skip to a nearby airport. Also the first non controlled airport. Wonderful experience non the less.

Giving rides to the nieces.

Delivered the Husky to its owner in St. Cloud.


of course there was weather to go around...what are you thinking?

and of course one must stop at random lakes on the way

Thom Petersen was there with his new Sutton Whirlwind prop equipped Cub



Andy came and picked me up for a run back to BRD

Out and about with the Freedom Fox. New constant speed prop is on and it's a game changer. 15kts faster in cruise, temps are 20 degrees cooler and 2850 rpm = Horse Power felt in the seat. Game changer

Kevin,

What prop did you put on her? I just switched from 3 blade MT to the 2 blade Ultra on my Husky. Both great props, 2 blade faster, 3 blade smoother but not by much and it has better drag for steeper approaches.

Whirlwind Constant Speed -200A.

Sunrise Valley Ranch this Saturday morning with the nephew and brother in law. This is a wonderful place for breakfast or dinner if you call a day or two in advance. They'll pick you up from the strip and give you a hay ride to ranchhouse and cook you up an excellent meal. I believe they have a few rooms for the night as well. Great strip, great people, and great food, highly recommend it!

Gave rides at Lake Edna.



and then Debbie got in around midnight from her night cross country.

I had my BFR last week and got into my first real Idaho backcountry strip! Garden Valley U88.

Flew across Wisconsin for a weekend at the lake. *Finally* the weather has cooperated enough where I could get out!

Checking out the wind farms in SE Wisconsin


Flying above the puffy stuff. Odd, because I rarely fly above 1500AGL!


Son looks like he's viewing the landscape with great intent, but it's really the inside of his eyelids that are getting attention


Over the river and through the woods


Enjoying the sunset in SW Wisconsin


Blowing up watermelon with a couple hundred rubber bands (it kaboomed nicely)


Having a great fish fry with fresh-caught crappie


Also took my in-laws on their first flight with me in many years. Great evening for a tour of the chain of lakes.
