so the next solid week is crazy. i am going backpacking to pine creek lake between livingston and gardiner sat and sun, monday i am doing my first SOLO cross country, over to helena--it'll be the same route i took today with sam, hoever i have to create a whole new flight plan that takes into account the weather for that particular time. the weather affects everything to do with aviation. even the trip we did today couldn't just be inverted on paper because the winds combined with our various directions, the weight of us in the plane, the amount of fuel, the air pressure, etc, ALL are variables in flight. it's crazy the amount of time sam and i spent planning this hour and a half trip. it was over in a heartbeat after all that effort. we didn't stop in helena, for the sake of time, but hopefully i will get to for a little bit when i go on MONDAY MORNING!!!
then after a whole bunch of flying and what-not, i will be headed to las vegas where i will pick up maxine and we will hang out with lewis nancy steve and butch for a hot minute then i will be headed to chico hot springs with wendy, rachel, and bianca friday and saturday next week. saturday evening marks the return to school and very seriously at that, i only have a matter of days before i have to be finished with my private pilot's license because i am leaving for alaska sept 11th with mama, daddy joe, and grandma fred. daddy joe is flying back to bozeman with me and we are heading back to SC via all kinds of fun places! i have loved being out here. there is nothing like the wild west. however, this hobbit is adventured out and more than ready to return to the shire for a few months. justin said i can sling drinks or whatever at the coal yard. i'll be making y'all some vegan craziness and pouring some SC beers--can't wait to drink a son of a peach!!! gah, i really cannot wait to drink some peach shine--now, THAT will be when i know i'm home!
