Carrots and Flying

The strip is on the very top ridge in the upper left side of the photo

Here are a few photos of Chris' strip from today. Today i tried out a method for securing the airplane that I hadnt thought about till mike mentioned it. Sometimes when flying in the backcountry your away from your airplane for a long time, during which the wind can pick up pretty good. The solution is two squares of plywood with a hole in the center of each one. You put a knot in your tie down rope, pull it through, burry the flat piece of wood and your good to go. I picked the last of the carrots yesterday and also pulled the parsnips, garlic and shallots. The parsnips got nipped by bugs or worms so they are mostly a loss, but the shallots and garlic were a nice surprise.

cheers,
