jimmytavino 16 #1 September 28, 2007 took a couple of days off and visited the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York Pine trees, fresh air, cool temps, ( it was 73 degrees there on a day when NY city was 93 )... We saw plenty of deer, canoes, local art , Knotty Pine architecture, turkeys, hawks, and other wildlife, and had a leisurely couple of days...We flew in a cessna 206 on floats, at a place called Paynes Air Service..... he had 6 or 7 float planes including a Cub, a couple of 180s, the 206, a C 185, and a couple which i couldn't ID.... hahahah likely waaay over a million dollars worth of aircraft !! he gave us a nice aerial tour..... The pilots name was Jim... jmy here are some pics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SARLDO 0 #5 September 28, 2007 Nice! I grew up in New England and really miss the fall colors. This year, trying to catch it in full bloom in western (not west) Virginia's Shenendoa Mountains. Nice 110 mile bike ride on Skyline drive. One of Natures most awesome shows, I can't wait."Always do right.

jimmytavino 16 #10 September 29, 2007 Quote BEE-utiful And a jump from that float-plane would be the icing on the cake.................................J.......... true enough.... though there are not a lot of open areas to land,,, ( dry areas, that is ) so your off site canopy skills best be up to par... The pilot was cool...gave us the nickel tour. never donned a headset... for SURE wasn't in contact with ATC...here are few more pics... including this huge red headed woodpecker, who danced around in the pine tree clearing at a park we visited.... enjoy jmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #11 September 30, 2007 Really nice! The trees are starting to change in my neck of the woods. Thanks for reminding me how much I take the Autumn colors for granted. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
