A Great Day For A Flight Around Mt. Rainier

August 27, 2014

It’s a pretty good day at work when you can drop what you’re doing, hop in a plane and fly around Mt. Rainier (and St. Helens), and still call it work. This is exactly what Greg Vernovage and I were able to do yesterday. A friend called up and offered up a couple seats in his plane for a flight . We didn’t want to be rude so we met him in Eatonville for a few laps around Rainier and one around St. Helens. No point in talking about how awesome it was because you’ve probably already skipped to the photos.
