Sorry I missed it guys! Was dodging tornadoes across Colorado in a 757 making my way back home yesterday.
Potato guns are awesome. We built one for a family reunion one time and the range was ridiculous. :D

Hey Chosstronaut -

Rumor has it you landed on the wing of a Maule M7 with room to spare.

Cough up a few pictures!

Re: Update: PNW Season Opener -Now with PICS!

Looks like it was a great time!

Z, is that 172 a rental or a buddy's? All the rentals around here require so many hours for weekend use that it's 100% not feasible. Frustrating to say the least.

Oh Rob, you are sooooo baaaddd baaaddd!

On a side note, Linda at Lucas Lodge pulled me aside on Sun. morning and told me, "you know your buddy that took the shower here yesterday, I said yes........she goes,....I'm so embarrassed...... I thought, Oh, God what did Rob do? Then she told me, there were no towels in the bathroom, and he didn't even say anything about it, I told her Rob can drip dry!" All is well! We are welcome back for next weekend. She said we are guaranteed to have towels! Great time had by all!!

Might also mention, there were some good stick and rudder skills and sound pilot judgment demonstrated at Lucas Lodge. The Lodge is a one way in, one way out strip, except for Tyler. The winds picked up both days. 12 -17 knots which translates to tail wind take off. Both Bryan and Rob/Stacey decided to put their dogs in other people's airplanes to lighten their load on takeoff. Good sound decision making! Not one person landed long or hot and had to roll out across the county road! Good job by all!!
