Durango Rebel wrote:I gotta catch up on my trips since I picked up the Skywagon. I was waiting awhile to try not to jinx myself but, I'm feeling pretty comfy now. I cleared my schedule last month and have been flying consistently. So here it goes:

Durango to Pennsylvania and back. Highlights include, a cool plane museum and grass strip in Marshal Missouri, the Piper museum in Lock Haven, PA and flying through New York class Bravo on the way to landing 10 feet from the ocean in Fishers Island, NY. Then it was back to CO for a week and then the big trip. Durango to Oshkosh, wow that was cool, then up across the border at the Soo then across to visit friends near North Bay, Ontario, then down to Quebec City for a little European vacation with the wife, then home.

I'm looking at my log book and in 6 weeks I have 100 hours of C185 time. The plane is amazing and I finally feel like I am ahead of it in most conditions. Time to start working on landing short so I can get off the pavement.

Saturday we are going to fly down to the Cowboy Dinner Tree if that plan comes together.

At Sunriver you can bike, hike, fish, float the river, white water raft, golf, shop, eat, hot tub, tennis, fly, cable tv, hi speed wifi and be lazy. Johnson Creek it is not.

I prefer the Idaho backcountry but I have to keep the wife happy so I can go fly the south west in September.

Cheers...Rob

A flask of tequila goes reeeeaally good with their pink lemonade .
