I had a fun adventure, even if it was only Thursday evening and Friday morning in the breaks. This was my first camping trip with an airplane and I learned quite a bit. Although I was expecting a quiet night in Winifred on Thursday (with the "real" fly-in to start on Friday) it turned out I met a ton of great folks on Thursday.
Thursday sunset at Winifred:
As a storm was passing off to the south:
Even felt comfortable enough to land at Cow Creek, so you know, <s> I'm like a
real bush pilot now... </s>
Pretty spectacular views looking off the end of Cow Creek:
I mostly just enjoyed flying around some gorgeous country, and was amazed at how short some of these strips were. I think I even said out loud
how could anyone land there?
Saw lots of floaters on Friday morning, even a few breaking camp.
Just gorgeous scenery all around:
I definitely had a great time up here, the Winifred strip and airport is fantastic, and I'll be back for more exploring!
