Seems like most of my flying this year was spent flying forestry
fire patrol with all the hot dry weather we've had.

We did fly out to Austin, Tx. to visit some family and also
to go to San Antonio. The Riverwalk is a great place to visit,
lots of great places to eat. Of course, the Alamo is a must if
you've never seen it. Of course flying over the Mississippi
River is always a blast. It looks bigger at 10,000 feet than
the Oconee does at 1000 feet. :^0

We also got up to Nags Head for a few days and go to see the
Wright Brothers monument and the museum there. That's sort of a
mecca for all pilots and I highly recommend it. I can't believe
it took me so long to finally go there.

We also flew up to Asheville, NC to poke around at the Biltmore
Estate and also Hendersonville, NC. That was a remarkable place
and I found the best Mexican Resurant I have ever experienced
in the old Biltmore Village.
