For some reason nowadays I'm really only carrying an iPhone. Need to get the good camera back out.

We might have a couple overcast days now but the sun hopefully will shine and the rain is finally gone

Cathedral Rock in Arizona

Nice one !

Out chasing around the lakes today. Ice is forming fast!

Hoped for a late season reprieve from snow - but too late, too deep to chance. Wait for next year.

Sunny, no wind, a brick of .22

Sounds like a good day!

Quick hop to another airport for gas since home base doesnt currently have fuel... met up with a local pacer driver and tooled around the local area

Super cruising on the divide

Only Gull still open today.




there's 7 - 8 eagles in this shot harassing the duck raft.

I generally try to stay away from scenes like this, but got the chance to do a hypobaric chamber ride in the big city, so one must do what one must do.

Flew down to Vashon Island a couple of days ago. It's where my plane used to be based. There were some buildups over the Olympic Mountains on the way down and Seattle was immersed in sunset light on the way home. The sun reflecting off of the buildings there looks pretty cool when you catch it at just the right time and right angle. During bright daylight Seattle looks a lot different.

Moving hangars around and flying the ice.

The fun bird is in the shop getting a pretty massive upgrade.
So I have to fly the work bird to pay for it!

Flat light lake patrol yesterday:


Henny left one of his Beavers sitting on the ramp, so they plowed around it...


Heading down the river.

Landed on ice roads as snow is currently too deep. Need to put skis on... (North Long lake)

Pressure ridge

more ice roads (Gull Lake)

Snow machine highway near Maddens, coming into Steamboat Bay

Another gray day in paradise.




obligatory Maule

Nice break in the rain here in the SF Bay Area

13 Jan 2019. Have wanted to do this trip for a while now. Perfect weather for it today, a counter-clockwise journey around the Mt St Helens volcano, at 6000ft..
