Re: Fall Colors
As half-assed promised, here are several photos my photographer friend Mel took on our flight around the Lake Placid area a few weeks ago. These are the low-res version, but still came through pretty nice.

The McKenzie Range
I think the Sentinal range, but not sure
Kind of a cool shot of the ski jumps

BLA, what Keith said…
(I think our 4 lanes are quickly becoming freeways with the amount of traffic moving in from the cities. Going to have to start referring to them as “the” 371 and “the” 210 ha ha!)

A bit late to this thread, took these photos earlier this month after getting the plane polished. Pretty new to the forum, love it!

Walking from home west of Ellensburg
Vine maple and Elderberry
Looking west up Manastash Canyon
Hunter camps in Robinson Canyon. I don't hunt any more but like to walk up here and talk to the hunters. They come from all over Washington state.

From my back yard. The transition from fall to winter. The leaves are just about done and Mount Stuart has a fresh coat of snow.
