Looks like JC has one of its first visitors of the season. Man, I wish I was up there. Although I imagine that it will be pretty chilly tonight!

Great site to see someone there again. Whoever it is is loading or unloading as I write this Sat Morning. Must be one of us BCP ers. Maybe it's Idahosupercub or L&S.

Whoever it was they're gone right after my last post.....Looking at the smiley creek cameras and the field is completely open. Summer's here at last....

Summers here at last

Don't jinx us man, it's supposed to get cold here again next week.

Myself and a buddy with another 185 are going to JC next week for a week of backcountry flying. Any PIREP's from anyone concerning the status of the strips?

looks like the cam at JC is out this morning. Probably couldn't stand the warm weather after all the snow and cold all winter. Hope it isn't out all summer again.....

I just tried to bring it up and a message popped up that said the camera has been removed.

Hmmm....wonder what is going on.

Hey. grassstrippilot. Didn't I see the plane in your id box in Jackson this week ???

Ben

Is that a tent set up behind that plane?
And that's a different plane than the one from yesterday
Green grass and the sky is blue

I heard they pulled the webcam.

For good??? I hope not. These cams are a great asset to have to check out what is going on up there. Isn't the JC cam one of the state of Idaho's sponsored webcams? I know the telephone company up there also had some sort of sponsorship in it. If it has been removed, I suggest we find out by whom and flood their email with requests to get it back up and running. I could be wrong, but I thought I read in the Rudder Flutter that this was one of the state's webcams. Anyone have the details on this?

Maybe. It belongs to the flying club I'm in. I didn't see anyone scheduled to take it there, but someone could have been up that way. Also, it is a CAP plane that we bought a couple of years ago and still has the CAP paint job on it. There are several around the Idaho/Utah area with the same paint scheme. One thing for sure, I wish I had been up that way.

the manager at Smiley creek told me last year that there was a program to upgrade web cams to a version where they could be manipulated by the viewer......hope springs eternal.....love Idaho DOT......

The Cam is BACK! (at least if you believe the time stamp.)

Yeah...my contact quoted bad info. The cam IS back. Look for the R/W/B 185 later in the week. I'll try to wave.

Yeah!!! An end to my withdrawn and my addiction is once again fed!
