Checking out local ice conditions this evening...

That is a funky looking panel BRD, looks like it was made from a chunk of counter granite.

Right, it's a rough gray spackle paint. Has hung in there pretty good!

BRD i see they are driving trucks on the ice now, how thick is it? only four wheelers hear right now. by the way thanks for the photos, they enjoyed seeing them. 46tcrft

Figure ice in Brainerd is about 12-15 inches. Trucks have been going out for a while now. (Without falling through..

Here is a video I put together from the other day while out exploring with Barnstormer.

Were not allowed to see that video in "my country" ( The great white North of communist dictatorship, igloos and year round parka wearing gun hating drones ) Due to lame ass copyright laws. Too bad. Time for a VPN.

Back home for break, I've been flying every day so far
Took the Super Decathlon out this morning, just finishing up breaking in the new engine to get it ready for renters

been out a few times lately over the packed local tourist beaches spreading some christmas joy to all the good boys and girls..............and throwing lumps of coal at all the little shits........

You're a good man Drifter, Merry Christmas to ya!

Flew out to Gravelly Valley on Monday to camp for the night. We had a great time! Unfortunately on the way home the fog never cleared at Rio Vista and we had to leave the planes 20 miles away up at Nut Tree. I was able to go pick the 170 up earlier today though.

Everything is GREEN after all of this rain we've had




Lake Pillsbury






Tri-tip for dinner!


A herd of elk was about 100 yards from us when we woke up


We decided to go shooting as we waited for the fog to burn off








Playing on the way to Willows for lunch












The Indian Valley strip


Good times!

Looks like a great trip!

You guys were out "Cow Tippin"

Hook'm Horns

Merry Christmas.
I finally got out in the Savage.
Here's a short clip of some of the fun.

Nice!
I recognize black rocks camp site from a river trip I did there years ago.

I assume this is all western-slope stuff in the video? How is it we are getting hammered on the Front Range and you guys are snowless and dry?

I can't wait to get over the hills this summer and play in your area in my Cubby!

We got a couple of inches over Christmas and it looks like it may stick around a little while. Not forecast to get above freezing for a week or so.
The next video will have much more snow in it.
Hope to get out tomorrow or Sunday and head over to the Moab area.
I can't usually get that low over the Black Rocks area as it is such a popular camping site during rafting season.

I love the video by the way and can't wait to see more...

Flew up to Red Hills to give Jack and Myrna a Christmas gift. They are looking forward to the 2nd annual fly-in this year. Sure is pretty up there after the rains.
