Sun rise and moon set over Denali yesterday while going to my cabin near Skwetna, AK. An amazing light show on a grand scale.

The reason for the trip was to dig the cabin out.

That does not look like fun shoveling...

Ha, I did not mention the 22 steps going up the bank from the lake, now that was work!
It was still only 10 degrees on the return trip home this afternoon.
This was a flight from Cortez Colorado to GrandJunction and back. The red rock area is close to Paradox Colorado. The higher mountains are those around Telluride.

Eddy - Where was that?
New Years Morning: Lower Snake River, Palouse, and Lower Granite Dam.
Had a great day with a couple friends.
Transmitted from my FlightPhone on fingers...
Couldn’t help myself....flew a lap around the Gallatin Valley......Ted is still feeding our elk....

2020 is now in hindsight
I had to look up the Utah Tree. I'd never heard of it!Originally Posted by windy

I remember that view well. Except the flight line looks different. In the 80s the last row were neglected Taylorcrafts and sad-looking Cessnas.2020 is now in hindsight
Ditto.
I figured it was some sort of radar or microwave installation.
So it's a sculpture......
or maybe that's just what they want you to think.....

I would like to ask, since never have landed on ice roads; how is directional stability after you loose rudder authority on landing and again on take off before the rudder kicks in?
Northern Minnesota, might need some skis.

That question, like snow, depends on the ice conditions. But for the vast majority of the time, it's pretty much a non-issue if you take into account wind speed/direction.
If it's slick ice like below, doing power slide takeoffs is a blast!

I have intentionally tried to ground loop on bare clear ice. Not happening, unless the main tires find something rough like a patch of snow to grab.

Thanks. Actually that sounds like fun!
Glare ice flying is fun. Now add 2-3 inches of cold light fluffy snow on top and that doubles the fun! Safe crack free ice of course.
Land into any wind on ice. Tires will give some sideways but a ski skeg can grab a hard rough spot and try to twist the gear even going straight ahead.

Did not really go anywhere, just a few trips around the pattern at KHCR testing out some different approach descent/angles

Southbound between Bremerton and Olympia, Wa yesterday.
Flying with Joe and his new PA-12 this afternoon. 20 deg, light breeze, not a bump in the sky...
41 degrees today. Had to wear a sweater in the plane.

Nowhere in particular, usual bar hopping haunts, just had to get in the air. Way to much drama lately. Dogs had fun except for the huge stickers I had to pick out of their fur.

Nice! Landing tracks look fun.

If it looks smooth...it might be
If it looks rough...it is!!
Not too exciting. Flew the Buisnessliner to KC to pick up one Pax and return to AR.

Not enough ski time thus far this winter, but there are a few months left to make up for lost time! (And never mind that spot in the last picture where I got temporarily buried. I tried to turn left, but for some reason that this rookie doesn't quite understand, the plane veered hard right and up that hill. I decided to pull the power and cut my losses when the plane tilted at a 30 degree angle.)
