The Official 2010 BCP Johnson Creek Pic/Vid Thread

What a fun adventure and a real pleasure meeting all the other BCP'ers. I'm convinced a nicer group of people can't be found. Thank You!

I'll start it off with a few pics. Video will come later...

Re: The Official 2010 BCP Johnson Creek Pic/Vid Thread

I have gobs of photos but here are some that I posted on a trip report on another forum. Was awesome to to meet everyone. I logged 7.8 hours there and 7.9 hours going home yesterday. 21.5 hours total over 5 days and burned less than a 100 gallons. Great trip!!

Headed over the Sierras Wed morning at 9500ft

Image

Image

Image

Some of Emmet's killer pics

Image

This one is going on the wall of my garage as an 18x20

Image

Denio station is just a gas station in the middle of nowhere with a dirt strip by it. 91 octane was $3.90 a gallon but still better than paying for Avgas and going way out of our way to get it.

Image

Headed in to Johnson Creek

Image

Left downwind for Rwy 17 at Johnson Creek

Image

Camp

Image

Sitting atop the famous Mile Hi

Image

A proud pilot... Again on Mile Hi..what a rush it is to land at 6000ft on a hillside

Image

Departing Mile Hi..your tail comes up just as you head over the hill it's pretty wild. You have to pick out a tree on the opposite ridge for takeoff because you start on a flat and can't see down the slope.

Image

Another angle on top of Mile Hi

Image

Love this shot

Image

The view from up there is indescribable

Re: The Official 2010 BCP Johnson Creek Pic/Vid Thread

This is what it looks like pretty much all the time

Image

Indian Creek

Image

Lower Loon

Image

Image

Atop of Soldiers Bar

Image

Image

Cabin Creek... Another beautiful strip.. fairly long but no go around once your committed.

Image

Another Avid post card shot

Image

Vines...looks good from here but it's short with trees on both ends and it's really narrow with huge rocks on either side. This is known as one of the Big Creek drainage "Big Four"

Image

This is Steve the Dead Stick Take guy showing us how it's done on Mile Hi. The normal way is known as one of the craziest places up there and he landed it with four different variations.

Image

Dewey Moore

Image

Image

We were done flying on Saturday by 11am so I hiked up to the hotsprings.

Image

Gotta be the coolest Hot bath I've ever taken..check out that view..the perfect end to a perfect flying day.

Image

These dudes were from Florida

Image

The town of Yellow Pine. It's only 5 miles down a gravel road. Not much but they had gas and beer.

Image

The Potluck on Saturday night

Image

That is the moon not the sun..awaiting daylight on Sunday morning

Image

Headed back towards the desert

Image

Some of the trip home coming across the Oregon desert

Image

Image

I was packed pretty tight

Image

Flying low out across the desert..had to make it interesting somehow.

Image

In the climb for 10,500...

Image

One final shot coming across the Sierra's before descending into the Sac Valley.

If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.

Vick, that dewey slipstream shot is photo contest material! You should enter it on AvWeb.

Alright, here are my pics. I have many more, but these are the most interesting:

Smoky the Co-Pilot

This guy didn't seem to have a good sense of personal space ;) (Vick.)

Dad and I (with Whee in formation) took a flight up the South Fork of the Salmon to scope out Wilson and Mackay bars. The terrain is mind-blowing.

Holy smokes, dudes! These pictures are just mind-blowingly good.

I left my SLR at home, so I won't pollute this thread with my iPhone pics... :wink:

Again, we had an awesome time. We'll make sure to get there earlier in the week next time so we can take part in some fly-outs.
