It was a very nice day -even though at the end I had. Sticky throttle and we found out I need an new or overhauled carburetor )-:

Thanks Rhys, loved Pt Roberts and had a very good time. Looking fwd to the next gathering.

old friends

Hey!!! Who you calling old?

Perhaps seasoned or senior would have been a better term. I'm not that far behind you

Christine, there's always one constant about flying besides flying. There always will be something to fix.

Here is a one frame per 2 sec. video of the trip to 1RL

"Long time friends" is so P.C.

Thank you all so much.

Linda and I had a wonderful time. GREAT destination! We so love flying the San Juan Islands.

I'll add some pics when I get a chance. I took most on my camera and I only have a few pics on my phone to share for right now.

Wondering: how did the camping go?
Good to see you, nice to meet Linda!

We had a great time, Linda in particular. She especially ;liked meeting you, Christine. You were very charming to her, and she appreciates and respects what you do.

Thanks to everybody. Also Jeremy in particular for his support over the past 11 years I have had the Maule.

Courtest bicycles at East Sound.

View from the north side of Orcas Island, a couple blocks from the airport where we camped.





Linda the semi-happy camper. She never camped in her life. Shes a city type girly-girl and did not adapt perfectly to outdoor life.

Linda doing a crosswind Maule takeoff from Point Roberts.

It's performance that counts!











Great group.











Linda, myself and my Maule.





Linda's biggest concern was the bathrooms. Mine was crossing the Washington Cascade mountains with 180 HP.



The Columbia River cutting through the desert in Eastern Washington close to my home airport. What a difference in terrain!

Thanks for sharing the photos and the updates on camping.
I think Linda is swell and quite a sport.
I can see the potential of more camping in the future. Along with a resort thrown in.
Our ratio is 1-1 for a weekend, 2-1 for a three day with the nod to the tent.
Your ratios may vary.
