Re: Any BackcountyPilots going to Oshkosh, Air Venture?

I have never been to Oshkosh before. This place is insane!! If you haven't ever been here do yourself the biggest favor since learning to fly and come here. We did an arrival water drop with the Crane and the crowd was fantastic. I don't think you could see all the things here in the whole week the show is going on!! If you're here stop by Elvis the Crane and say hello. =D>

Ben, nice meeting you and the rest of the bunch. My dad and I want to thank you again for picking up the tab on the BCP lunch. That was very nice of you. By the way, your plane is awesome!!!

Re: Any BackcountyPilots going to Oshkosh, Air Venture?

Well the OSH adventure continues. Left West Yellowstone yesterday. Flew over Old Faithful just as she blew off steam. Should have good pictures, will post when I get home.

Camping now at Johnson Creek. Just got back from flying to Cold Meadow, Chamberlin Basin, Wilson Bar, Mackay Bar, Warren, McCall, and back here to JC.

Mackay Bar is absolutly a joy!! Really good food, beautiful grounds. I want to go stay there.

Wilson Bar was exciting. Warren was right out of the gold rush days. Cold Meadow is over 7000 MSL.

While at McCall gasing we walked into town. The water front was rockin.

Back at JC there are 3 planes, got it all to our selves. =D>

Not bad 4 places I had never been to.

Sitting here in front of the JC web cam.

Enough for now.

Rob
