Over Night at Toledo

6-1-2020
The forecast for Monday and Tuesday looked good so we went up to spend the night at the Toledo flying field.  I took this picture about noon and put it on Facebook with the caption "Guess what I am doing!".
We love flying up there, the scenery is so nice in every direction you look.  The solar panels worked great, both sets of batteries were fully charged when the sun went down.
Mt St Helens had that little band of clouds by it most of the day.
I have not had the Corsair out for quite a while but it only took one flight to remind me why I like it so much.  I leave it under the table because the sun makes the dark blue covering wrinkle.
This is just before I took off for my final flight of the day.
The moon was showing most of the day and kept getting brighter and brighter.  I really like the way it shows up against the blue sky.
The skydivers were jumping most of the day, this pair opened fairly high up and flew together for a long time.
They have a new jump plane now, it is turbine powered and beats the jumpers down at times.

I started flying about nine this morning.  It was a great day, Barry and Mona stopped by the field this afternoon on their way to Olympia.  I got to show off a little with the Vortex Delta for them.
Mt Rainier had this cap on it all day.
We had a good turnout of flyers and they did lots of flying.
Ken had a new trailer for hauling planes that he surprised us with.  One of our club members passed away while we were in Arizona and he bought it from the estate.

We are getting better at these overnight stays, when we got home it didn't take us very long to get unloaded and settled in at home.
