King Day Five 7.18.08

The task committee decided to give us a no fly day due to high winds. So, pilots and drivers had a day to explore the area...

As soon as the day was called, I picked up Wendy as she was on her morning run up to launch. We decided to use the day to explore the back road areas of the Lost River and Howe Valleys. Our first stop was Natural Arch.

Later in the day with the winds continuing to be too high to fly, we decided to explore the road up Pass Creek Canyon. It's a beautiful drive with towering walls of rock along a nice gravel road...

We continued toward the Howe Valley and back to Arco where we are having a beer and taking a break from the wind.

Tomorrow is looking like a better flying day, so we should get some airtime the last day of the King Flying Meet...
