Kelly's trip to Idaho

(Kelly has hijacked Katherine's blog to post airplane pictures. We will be back to our regularly scheduled Cute Baby Pictures after this brief interruption.)

I flew out to Idaho to catch up with Katherine and the kids for the 4th. Here are a few pics I took along the way out and back, to share with my flying buddies.



Owyhee Resevoir State Airport
I managed to scare up a jackrabbit just south of Concourse B, over by the shuttle bus terminal.



The world famous Owyhee Hilton
A two bed suite with a lakeside view had just opened up. What luck!




Obligatory Postcard Picture
Another lucky break, a couple of Japanese tourists happened by, and were kind enought to take my picutre.




Looking out across the Eagle Cap Wilderness,
from the west, just south of Reds/Minam




Looking North, along the Minam River Drainage
About 10 miles south of Reds/Minam, starting the descent.




The airstrip at Red's looking North




Red's Airstrip, looking South (upriver)

Lucky for me, I was able to squeeze into a parking spot on the crowded ramp.
Hope I can find the plane again when I get back from the duty free shop.




Main Ranch House at Reds

Now a museum. Caretakers PA-12 Supercruiser is at right.




Cabins along the Minam River
Sadly, not maintained by the Forest Service.




Airstrip Campsite
Note firewood stacked up at left. Very inviting.

Katherine,
Tell Kelly I love the photos. I really like the picture of him, reminds me Steve, as I have many photos like this thank goodness. Sorry that we won't see you at the wedding. Ray Satterwhite and family are going to be there. It will be a sad and happy event at the same time.
