Ok, this *is* an aviation board, and thus the cool helicopter pics.

How about some real pics tho: bluebird days, fresh snow, and skiers ripping it up!

This is finally summer but the moskitoes are out, you can see one of them is chasing us. They tend to get pretty big around here....

I really like the docked Beaver shot Rowdy. Great capture of a solitary atmosphere.

I saw him at the Chapleau town dump last summer. He seems to spend some time at his lodge on Five Mile Lake in summer, but he is not operating or maintaining the outpost camps.

My buddy took these shots of me through a dirty Thrush window, and I did the editing.
