Ha! Tell him not to worry. I'm coming over in a Cessna. That Cub's too beat up for me anymore. :)

2012 NW Get Togethers

Fun flight over threading the coast range peaks at 2500 ft, but it was coming down to the ultralight altitudes when I emerged from the mountains into the river mouth. I got within 2.5 miles and viz and ceiling were just too low, definitely not legal :) I honked my horn and flew home, didn't feel like having to share a tent with Terry or Straightail. :)

Have fun guys!

Lions Club Pancake breakfast at the airport 1st Saturday of June this year and just about every year. This was Bub's big push when he was alive. Good event.

You want to come up Tim?

I'll host a over night party at my place 1 hour NW of Burns if there is any interest.

Madras S33

I'll lead y'all into Chukar Flats [850'] and Bull Run [900']

Re: 2012 NW Get Togethers

Because of high wind predictions on Sunday, I decided to just make a day trip out of it. Loaded up the boat and an old high school buddy of mine. Just missed one of our BCP lurkers, Brent, from the Prosser area who had departed as we were descending. With the winds out of the south, landing downhill worked well. I was stopped by the tiedown area and had good go around potential if I needed it.

Only saw one other plane come in while we were out paddling around on the lake.

On the way back we saw a huge dust storm east of Adams. It looked like fire smoke as it filters through the trees. Turned out it was all blowing out of Hell Roaring canyon.

Looks like the water's up anyway. I went there several years ago & the water was way way down-- you couldn't even walk to it, it was surrounded by mud. Not the funnest time.

Re: 2012 NW Get Togethers

Good day BCP's,

Headed to Minam for breakfast on Saturday, July 14th. We plan on being there by 7:00am and departing around 9:30am. If anyone else is up for it, we'll see you there. If anyone does plan on coming, you might want to drop Melissa a note so she makes enough food. Her e-mail is [email protected].

Nobody responded regarding stehekin and with the thunder and rain moving through, I just went to work today. Chossstrip and I are planning on hitting Waconda tomorrow (and other strips) then heading back toward toketee or powers for the night.
