Yesterday I had the privilege of a lot of sunshine, a little snow, and a crew of excited passengers to be showing up on the same day. I thought I would forward the link to the pictures for all to enjoy. There was very little snow down low and there was plenty of fog around so the top of the mountain seemed like the only reasonable place to go. The bad news was that I forgot to grab the snowskate or the snow board for the boys to enjoy. Sounds like we will need to make another trip.

Those pics look awesome, Kelly. Forgot to tell ya, I met one of your airport neighbors a while back, he & his wife were sniffing around about hangars at Port Townsend. Can't recall their names but he owns a Bird Dog.

Eric,

That was Warren; he has the hangar right next door to me. He told me about meeting you there.

I was able to sneak out for an outing or two last sunday but other than that we haven't had any snow to speak of. I'm hoping that changes today or tomorrow.

Talk to ya later,
Kelly

I know it's a long way, but if you get started today...
The 7th annual Famous Daves Ski-Plane Fly in brunch is Sunday, Jan 16 on Big Round Lake (8Mi E of Hayward Wisconsin). Last year (17 BELOW 0) we had 37 planes. Ice is plowed so skis are not really needed.
