This is about a 9 minute video of the area right around Bellingham WA in the Northwest corner of WA State with the mountains and San Juan Islands at our door step. In 15 minutes of flying I can be over the San Juan Islands or in the majestic North Cascade Mountains. The plane is a 1959 C172 with a 0360 180hp upgrade. Enjoy. https://vimeo.com/150087916

I lived there for 9 1/2 years...loved the country....just too many people! I still try to get back every now and then for a visit.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I lived and worked in Anacortes one summer during college. I love that area and would like to find my way back.

I got a GoPro for Christmas, but haven't used it on the airplane yet. What mount and prop filter are you using?

Looks great.

Vimeo vid's start/stop all the time fer me. Don't watch 'em.

No prop filter. There are dedicated mounts that bolt on to wing strut, but I just used some electrical tape to secure the base of camera housing to strut. Yes, I'm cheap.

Lots of familiar sights.
Puzzled by the lake in the beginning-- didn't look like Whatcom. Cavanaugh?
Crossing south end of Decatur Shores, landing at Orcas.... good stuff.

That was indeed the south end of Lake Watcom, then turning to the south west and exiting across the bay towards San Juan's.
