Monte and I took the Maule out to the mountains for fun, fellowship, and fund depletion (gas is expensive...) yesterday after church.
We flew over Yakima into the Cascades and landed at Rimrock Lake by White Pass at 4,500 feet. You may recognize the name because we have ridden our dirt bikes there several times. Beautiful place, hairly approach though. We met anotherpilot there camping with his family.

Doc at the lake. Too cold to swim in but the shallow areas are nice.

After Rimrock we flew to Packwood, a little deeper into the mountains. Very close to Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier. Unfortunatly, I was too busy getting through the mountains to take pics of the mountains. Here is the plane on the grass at Packwood.
