See, I am used to seeing this every day of my life, since I can remember.




Since moving to Louisiana, I see nothing, in every direction...




That is Mt. Ranier, in Washington state.

One of the guys I met when I started flying powered parachutes lives out in Washington state. He sent me a CD a couple of years ago with pics he had taken while flying. I would LOVE to come out there and fly! The scenery through Washington and Oregon looks absolutely beautiful. If I can dig out the CD I will post a couple of aerial pics of Mt Ranier you would appreciate.

It's all relative, I guess. Out here we'd call those things foothills -- the floor of my garage is a mite higher than the summit of Mt. Rogers.

That would be pretty sweet! I would love to go back there and, well, live there haha I'm so sick of this place.



Glad you "got" my joke

I have gotten a lot of negative responses when I talk about the "Great Smokey Hills" that I got to go out and see last thanksgiving.

I will see if I can hunt that CD down in a little bit, it has some AWESOME shots.
It's funny though, I'm actually kinda glad the elevation here isn't higher. For some reason whenever I'm on the ground driving a large change in elevation drives my ears/hearing aids nuts, BUT when I'm flying (non-pressurized cabin or no cabin at all. ) I don't have any problem with the change in elevation. I always thought that was kinda weird...
It's been quite a few years since I have seen the scenery out west...need a road trip!!

On Friday, I grenaded the engine in my Crown Vic. You guys know me and how I am with vehicles, but it's funny how one person gets his panties all in a wad about how I should never be allowed near a vehicle ever again. Based on my searches of that forum, there are a lot of what I call Keyboard Mechanics -- people who consider bolting new wheels or installing a CAI "mad mechanical skills". Mention rebuilding an engine and they shoot it down, claiming it would be too expensive
