I had the boys in B.C. spray some new colors on the Kodiak.
Quite a ways into Washington state now. That's the mouth of the San Poil River....contributing to the Columbia's flow.

Sun's goin' over the hills....

Grand Coulee Dam.....a marvel of engineering....and one of the wonders of the world in my opinion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Coulee_Dam
and in the background....Dry Falls, another interesting story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_Falls

A lot of ranch and farm land in this area.....

Settin' down just South of Chelan WA....camping out again.

Thanks 4 looking

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

You never disappoint Chuck. Outstanding pics. The scratched up paint on the Kodiak is very realistic! Cool
