Thank you for the leads! I ski instruct Thur-Sun and haven't had time to look at these...

Thank you, all. I need to keep it below 60k. Idaho offers a lot of different types of flying, but I am not qualified for the back country stuff. I travel quite a bit and am very active in a women's pilot organization. Mechanical things intrigue me, but my skills are virtually non-existent in...

I am just starting. It has been suggested I get an online membership to Trade-a-Plane. I will do that this evening. Ebay? craigslist?

I am beginning to look for an airplane. My capabilities at this point fall in the C150/152 range. Here are my thoughts so far: C150/152: affordable, easy to fly, low fuel burn, could rent if I need something bigger C172: more expensive, but could actually invite a px, I am signed up to...

Bills face up, heads up, smallest on top. Just returned home from a trip and have some Mexican pesos, some Chilean pesos, and some euros. But I only went to Mexico. Perhaps I need to look at my change a little closer? :D And I only carry a small purse, if necessary, and always matching. If...

Exaaaaaaactly! I am packing now--off manana. :D

I really regret that I didn't have a chance to take a pic. The snow was gone the next day. It was a rare opportunity.

This last year has not been a good flying year for me. However, this last week I was able to escape the bonds of earth and get a little pattern practice in....in 4" OF SNOW! It was my first true soft field landings and takeoffs. Fun! :D

Wow! Way out of my league.

This is from a couple of summers ago. Right now the valley is grey and the mountains are white. I live just in front of where the strut meets the river.

That would be a bit...cumbersome. Especially if everyone started doing it. I should start marketing some kind of travel kit: pillow, blanket, coffee maker and mug...and it all fits in a 5" x 5" bag. :D

AAAUUUUUUGHHHHH!!! I stopped making coffee "in room" after I found strange grit in the basket once. But, like Mari, I am rarely sick. And I have a good supply of tents, back seats, and an old but trusty rv for the shorter trips.

Oh, I feel sick. And re the hotels w/ plastic cups...I did start carrying my own coffee mug.

And here is my collection. The little man fits inside the airplane on the right.

C150 4 1/2 years ago. I logged it. :D

Grass strip training was allowed with the airplane I rented. Unfortunately, they paved the nearest grass strip six months before my training. Most of the grass strips here require some mountain flying skills, although there are a couple I would feel comfortable using.

It was VERY fun. Unfortunately I'd have to beg and grovel to get the guy to take me again. His is a driveway ornament.

I've crewed on a Hobie Cat. :D :D :D

Picked up my bike from REI. They tuned it, said it was a good bike for it's era. It still has lever shifters, as opposed to the new push buttons. I guess I have a true touring bike. It has a longer wheel base, so I can't turn quite as sharply. I didn't think that was going to be a problem...

My bike (Nishiki) was given to me by someone cleaning out their pile of junk. It's a touring bike. It's green. I took it to REI for a tune-up and advice...I am picking it up today. People have told me that the right bike makes all the difference. But, how does one figure that out? Maybe...
