Long Hike

A few weeks ago we went for an early Sunday morning flight in Steve's plane.
We headed out to the southeast, passing thru mountains and great stretches of desert. We decided that a mid-air picture of the plane would be cool, and the only way we could do it would be from a mountain top.

So Steve landed on a dirt strip and I hiked to the nearest mountain. Good thing I'm in shape, because it took quite a while to get to the top. It was windy, also, and that made the hike even more of a challenge.
I climbed up to about 4,000 feet, and Steve flew by so I could get this photo:




Pretty cool, huh?

Oh by the way I'd never climb a stinkin mountain to get a photo of the plane.
I'd just have a friend in another plane take the picture and then email it.
