an unplanned overnight

Here are a few pictures (in no particular order) of a trip I got to go on in April.  I went along as co-pilot and we ran into some weather that required us to stay the night at the WWF base where our passengers were going.  We had to land short and wait a couple hours for the storm to pass.  Then we continued on to our destination, but decided to wait to head home until the next day since there were storms between us and home.

You have so many adventures, Mandi! (I think of you and your "wild heart" often). :)

Mandi, the pictures are amazing... such a feast for the eyes! And you capture the scenes really well, too! Thanks so much for letting us in on where you live, how you live... it seems like you're not so far away sometimes, when we can picture you.
love you!
