San Juan Islands a Birdseye view
Yesterday I had the opportunity to go on a small plane ride over the San Juan Islands. This was a first time experience for me. A co-worker built an RV-7 from scratch. It took him about 4 years to finish. He has had the plane in the air since last March. He offered to take me to lunch from Seattle to San Juan’s for my Birthday and of course I could not turn it down 🙂 Normally a trip to the San Juan’s in a vehicle will require at minimum 5 hours of travel time. This includes waiting for ferries to take you across to the islands one at a time. These are a few pictures from my adventure yesterday. Chad was a great host and taught me a lot about general aviation that I never knew before. I hope you enjoy these pictures.
This is the RV-7 that Chad built. The full story and history of this plane can be found here >> http://www.704ch.com
Mount Rainier and Lake Tipsoo
Eagle Creek Trail Oregon State
Summertime is here and I get outdoors when I can. I’m a bit behind getting these pictures and video published but better late than never 🙂
This was a hiking excursion I took a couple of weekends ago in Oregon State. The Eagle Creek Trail is about 40 miles east of Portland, Oregon along the Columbia River. I’m happy to have had the opportunity to capture these beautiful scenery.
Memorial Day on Mt. Si
This is how I spent my Memorial Day on May 26th, 2014. Hiking with friends in the Cascade Mountain Range. We had a mixed bag of weather but ended with beautiful sun breaks when we needed them. This is our picture story 🙂

The trees are so tall that all you can do is look up and see green all around. Lots of moss growing on the trees every where.

Steady pace keep trekking because before long you will not have the luxury of these types of steps when we close to the top it gets rocky rocky road.

When we arrived at the top a cloud was sitting there. Within 20 minutes it floated away and the sun came out to play.

There are two people in black standing at the top of the tree line. This will give you scale of the hay stack!

note: fire arm was carried up top discreetly, hidden and with respect. Sole purpose was for staged photo at top to memorialize all veterans. Magazine was empty. All in accordance with the laws and registered in the State of Washington.

The Unit! These veterans all served together historically in such places like Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan.
