Stave Lake - crosstraining

Weekend was season opener so I threw my mountain bike and a .22 into the back of the Citabria and headed up to Stave Lake to try my luck peddling the back roads.  Game was scarce but there must be a large elk herd there to make all those tracks on the sandbars.


Took the back seat out and the front wheel off.  Easy fit.

Tools of the trade.  Stave Lake strip seemed more brushed out and smoother than I've seen it for a while.  Lots of logging activity, and the west road services the Northwest Stave River power project.

About 15km from the plane, stopped for some lunch.   Some riverboats make it a little ways up the river and you'll see a few heeled up on the gravelbars, but by here they've petered out.


On the way back I cruised by the Nazi Gold crashed bomber site up behind Widgeon Lake.  Usually you can only see the odd piece sticking out of the snow, but this year it is all out in the open.

Guido, that's awesome! We gotta go flying together sometime so you can show me all these cool locations that you fly to. By the way, we missed you at Apple Turnover. Apparently they regard you as a master of the S-1!
