    On a flight to a local breakfast seen some very cool fog in the valley below. Glad I wasn't in it.

    We attended the aviation day at Skagit Regional Airport (KBVS) at the invitation to bring the A/C on its trailer for an informative display. Nice crowd with lots of interest in the SS7 and the trailer.
    Wore the 2015 and 2017 fly-in shirts.

    Nice invitation.
    Happy to see you both enjoying that beautiful Kitfox together.
    It was good seeing you both at the factory fly in.
    Thanks for the post.

    I had a great flight to the Idaho back country yesterday along with a friend in his Super Cub. We went to a couple very remote strips, Upper Loon and Cabin Creek. We tried to go to another strip, Soldier Bar, but the winds were causing up and down drafts on final approach and we gave it away.

    So there we were cruising at 9,500' and noticed some white stuff on the mountains. The OAT was 27 degrees. A few minutes later it was clear that it had just snowed the night before. It was below 40 degrees when we landed at Upper Loon (5,500 MSL) and thankfully there wasn't any snow there. It's too early for winter.

    Never the less we had a great day of flying.

    Nice to see the smoke is subsiding at least in that area...

    Visibility was a little more limited when we were out there.

    We did make the Idaho Flying Mecca of Johnson Creek, though...

    Looks like a beautiful day, Phil... great pictures!

    Larry... the Mangy Fox looks right at home there, and you're right - what a difference! I came down from Montana with my son a few years ago during similar conditions and had to overnight in Greybull, WY because the smoke was so thick and high. I was actually starting to feel sick from it.
