Days 3-5 - Tamarack, Idaho
I spent three days with my high school buddies in Tamarack. We played golf one day, rafted down the Payette River one day, and did some hiking.
Jack had to fly out Monday morning so I flew him down to Boise, and then flew back to Coski.
Here we are flying south over the stretch of the Payette River we had rafted two days before. It took us three hours to raft, less than five minutes in the plane. Of course, speed is not always the objective.
After dropping Captain Jack off, I flew over the Boise State football stadium and its famous blue turf.
Flying back north, following the Payette again.
Just south of Cascade Lake. Cascade airport is off to the right.
Overhead Coski Airport where I kept the plane for three days. It was the only plane there. But Coski did have ten or so tiedown spots with chains.
Over Lake Payette. Last year I was here -- disgraced myself by flying commercially -- and we cruised around this lake on a pontoon boat.
McCall Airport. They have a big mountain flying school here. I'd like to do it someday.
A good look at Tamarack which is sort of a vacation home community. It has ski slopes & lifts, a great golf course, plus hiking, fishing, frisbee golf course -- lots to do.
The ski lift is operational however.
My friend Pete rents a place in the center of the picture; that's where we stayed this long weekend.
