Reflections from the Prairie Lily

This summer, Dad and I went for a river cruise on The Prairie Lily. We enjoyed the views and the guided commentary along the way.

Andrew is usually the one taking reflection photos; this time I couldn't resist. The new high rises and hotel being built in the River Landing area make for some fascinating abstracts.

Flying Lumby

Back in July, on our way home from Port Moody, we stopped for three days in Vernon to visit friends and to fly at Lumby. We had great flights from both Coopers and Mount Eddy launches.

Port Moody and Flying Woodside

Yep! Waaaaay behind in finishing some blog posts!

On our July trip we headed as far west as Port Moody to visit my niece, Julie, and her boyfriend, Kurt. They live within walking distance of the water and some excellent hiking trails. Oh! And a delicious ice cream shop! :-)

We had our first opportunity to fly at Bridal Veil Falls near Chilliwack, thanks to a group of local pilots who were heading up one afternoon. The launch is a bit tricky because of usual cross winds and, after watching a couple local and more experienced pilots botch a couple of their launches, I decided not to try it. Those who did fly said it was a rather bumpy ride so I'm just as happy I stayed on the ground! Andrew is far more brave than I am and had a great launch, flight and landing. 

We camped near Harrison Hot Springs and, after supper, enjoyed the sunset view over Harrison Lake. 

Woodside is always one of my favourite places to fly. Great launch area and nice big landing zone!
