Idaho in October?

[Steve Pierce]

Cabin Creek is an intimidating approach the first time. The guy I went in with the first time had us do a figure 8 over and out giving us a feel for the go around. Neat place. I haven't been to cabin Creek since they rebuilt the lodge. Caught some good updrafts off that ride to the left on the way out.

Yes, quite intimidating, it reminded me of flying into Hidden Splendor in Utah. I stayed high and took a close look at the terrain before I went into the canyon to land. The lodge is very nice. They even have internet! It's the first time for me to be in Idaho and I love it.

On your way to Bozeman, stop by Rexburg, KRXE, I’m good for lunch.

I'll keep it in mind, but the forecast (so far) is for the wind to pick up quite a bit in the early afternoon. I may leave McCall early and go straight to Bozeman to beat the turbulence. Sunday I left Sheridan, MT to McCall when a forecast for low level turbulence and wind shear was in affect. it wasn't the most fun flying crossing the mountains. I was glad my wife wasn't with me in the Pacer.

Sorry I didn’t make it. Left McCall yesterday with a forecast for Bozeman for the wind to pick up just after noon. Hindsight, the wind didn’t pick up as much as forecasted.

Met up with my wife at Bozeman, MT. From there we flew to West Yellowstone to spend two days at the park. Today was a good day to fly over it. Old Faithful spews every 90 minutes. How lucky can you be to get there just when it starts? We really enjoyed seeing Grand Prismatic Spring from the air. Next will be to start tracking back east towards Winchester, VA. We will stop at Mt. Rushmore to take a look next.

Aren't we blessed to fly our airplanes around this great country?

Juergen, I say that a lot. Normal people who don't fly small airplanes have no idea.

I had a blast on this trip and really enjoyed that my wife joined me at Yellowstone and flew part of the way back with me. I am editing a lot of footage and posted the first YouTube video on my channel. There will be probably six videos about the Idaho backcountry. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtetI5TjM7akKWdPeFZ5fLUTWQl1C3kUj

Next year I am planning to fly the Pacer to Southeastern Utah and Arizona.

Juergen,
Thanks for the share. I drove with my son from CA to ME in a Mercedes sedan - late August - He said he couldn't bear to sell the car to make that move. Ok - His family flew, while we drove. We did 6 days of hotel hopping but seeing some grand sites along the way. Stopped in Yellowstone - Stood too close to some Bison, hiked up to the top, walked around the paint pots, and watched Old Faithful do it's thing - and did the Mt. Rushmore tour also. Bought the T-shirt and sand cast Presidents for the display case. I will go back to see them both from the air in my TP, probably next spring when I visit my brother in AK. Agree with all, our country is fantastic to see from the air. You know, I think this site needs a picture posting location - pics of air travels...maybe? just a thought.
