Over flying one of my favorite hiking trails.  This area had a major fire go through it in 2003 or 4.

Way cool video, Phil!   ::bow::  However, I must say that even with your heavy orange jacket on, you appear to be one cold puppy flying around without a door to enclose your cockpit!  <shiver>

The jacket is just a nylon wind breaker shell.  It was 70 in the valley that day, but a bit chilly up at that altitude.  I flew all winter on skis, with the open cockpit.  No colder than riding a snowmachine.   8)

Wow, just flying free like a bird, having the whole place to yourself, looks like heaven ::bow::
