Well after what seems like weeks of incredibly low ceilings and occasional freezing rain (which unfortunately brought down a 182 this week here) we were finally able to get up and go for a flight. The landscape is all snow covered, lakes are well frozen. Jim and I decided it was time to look at a lake landing. Here we are after he successfully set it down. Snow was quite shallow about 5 inches and well packed down. We landed on a well traveled snowmobile superhighway where it was completely packed.

We have just purchased skis and hope to have them installed shortly. If the weather remains the same, we will get more lake landings in as we wait for parts.

About 7 miles south of KHYR on Lake La Courte Orielles is a great place to drop in and eat.

Anglers Haven has great food and is a very picturesque Leinenkugels Northwoods Lodge.

Here is Jim after his first lake landing..who said you need floats for lakes?

Nice! Looked like a great day to fly!
You have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming a pilot. You can't do both!

Awesome pics! The Maule looks great on the snow. Everyone knows yellow is the fastest color and the snow really sets it off.
