Dave rented a Piper Warrior from Whiteside January 21st and we flew to
Eagle River, Wisconsin to snowmobile for a few days. It's about a 600
mile round trip. We were lucky enough to catch a tail wind each way,
which shortened our flight times to just over two hours. Dave usually
drives it in about seven hours, so it was a real treat for him to get
there so quickly. This was my first snowmobile experience, and we
borrowed a two seater from one of Dave's friends. We stayed in St.
Germaine and did about 300 miles on the trails. I really enjoyed the
trip, and we both had a great time. Winter flying really is so smooth,
and the snowy scenery is beautiful.
