Okay I figure we should have a single place to post all this years pics & vids! Remember keep the videography of the "Big Creek 4" off youtube, or private and give us a password! Okay here are a few to start off!
It's official.... JC 2012!

Day One at Yellow Pine...the start of a good week!

On the way to SC with Rob

At SC Ranch

Bruce Meadows

An amazing airstrip! Deadwood Dam.

Indian Creek

Rob & STACY!


Flying B Ranch

Soldier Bar, what a cool airstrip & great view!



Cabin

Enjoying the shad!

If you haven't been to Upper Loon it's a must see/visit. I look forward to going camping here. What an amazing approach by that rock face!


Lower Loon. For those that don't know they have a great breakfast! I'll post on a few sites the information for it. Especially Shortfield.com If you let them know they can have it going/ready but if you just show up it'll take a while to start breakfast from scratch. The banana muffins Stephanie makes are Amazing!



I was the 2nd person to take off just before 6AM. I'll miss this view till next time I'm up here!

Not one of the BC 4! What a great place! (If others disagree I can take it down)

Great pics!

You #$%^ing rock Bryan!

I have an M20E maybe next year I'll cut my trip in half and bring that instead of the WilgaBeast.... Um.. I'll probably be to much of a pansy and bring the Wilga...

Fun watching you conquer the backcountry man.. You're a pro.

Thanks for posting fellas, Piper is your mutt a Kelpi ? and Jaerl nice historic pics, does anyone know about the early history of this place, how they made their living etc. So far the best coverage of a JC fly-in I've seen.

I have several pics of some of the larger strips and some of the private strips from the 40's or so with vintage planes (incl JC with a Trimotor and a unidentified biplane like a Moth or Jenny in the distance). The Trimotor was unloading what looks like mining equipment.

Thanks Wilga Beast!

She's a border collie kelpie mix! She's a great dog!

Rob took Steve (M5Guy) and I into Wilson Bar on Saturday after breakfast. This was the first time in the BC for me and I had a blast. It was a real treat meeting everyone.

If someone has any footage or still of the old Commander taking off or landing (or just sitting) at JC, I would greatly appreciate it. I don't have hardly any footage of her taking off, flying etc.

Thanks,
Adam

It sure was nice to have a fellow Retract

I was trying to find you and have a chat, but every time there's was no one around. I love the paint scheme on the Mooney and great to see another "odd" backcountry plane.

Mucho kudos to you Piper taking ya Mooney there, way beyond my skills. Have had mutts all my life, in fact how do you tell who loves you the most, the wife or the dog. Lock both inside a car boot for three hours and when you open it one will have a tyre lever in their hands wanting to beat you to a pulp, and the other will be so glad to see you they'll be wagging their tail and licking you to death.
