My uncle made a video of our Smiley Creek trip last month for the Utah Backcountry Pilots get together. He and his wife are in the 182, and my kids and I are in the 180. It was a fun trip. Enjoy!

Mostly the basic low ground effect until acceleration to safe maneuvering airspeed (zoom reserve) takeoff. Very nice. Very safe. Keeping some money in the pocket is the way to go, according to Wolfgang.

What a bunch of fun! I really enjoyed your video and forwarded it to a couple of future Smiley Creek campers. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing the video. Love that place.

Looks like a good time.
