Idriveplane, did you take that pic of CQA? Who was flying? I used to fly it and I'm curious.

Great pics by the way. Hope to post some soon.

Nice pics all. Keep them coming, though it makes me eager for another summer traveling the north country with tools in tow

Got a few, more of better to come once I get a spare minute at the work 'puter. They're certainly not as beautiful as some of the others here, but a piece of my world:

Over Sawtooth Ridge
Image

Under Sawtooth Ridge. This one was taken first by a co-worker I didn't even know was there. Busy doing some surveying at the time!
Image

Fortress Lake
Image

Clemenceau Icefield
Image

Lake of the Hanging Glacier
Image

Lake of the Hanging Glacier 2
Image

St. Mary's Alpine
Image

Kootenay Lake
Image

Crawford Bay. Terrible landing, but it's a good reminder for me to be honest about my flaws...
Image

And to think there are folks who don't understand this aviation 'sickness' we all suffer from. Pity them!

Give it up bro, I've tried bugging him but he still posts. I'm through with it. He'll never change. It is his mission to make us drool. Bastard.

Dammit this thread is like crack. Every day I can't stop myself from looking at it hoping for new pics, and they're fantastic to see, and inevitably when I get to the end I feel crappy about not being out there doing that myself.

Great shots everyone, this page might even be the best of the entire thread! Keep 'em coming.
