It's nucking futs. The top of McConkey's lift at Park City is only 2.75 miles from the base of Brighton.  Yet it was a 44 mile drive from Park City to Brighton. Cray cray.

That’s how Stowe and smugglers notch are when 108 the notch road is closed in the winter.

Had some time to kill before the 1pm flight... Hiked to Ensign and beyond. Salty, did you end up going here?

[eaf]

Btw, the guy on the stone was a slacker. He could’ve hiked higher.

Nope though I saw it from the downtown area. Before my 1 pm flight I slept in late, made an impromptu stop at an air force base museum, and had an air traffic control tower call the cops on me for inappropriate plane spotting. I swear I was in compliance with the sign... it said "No stopping beyond this point" and I was right in front of that sign!! So I wasnt even stopped past the point...

Too bad it's cloudy or I could have seen your plane from Hazleton as you make your way into Nork (Newark).

I swear reading this report is like reading reruns of your report from a month ago.  I’m surprised the cops didn’t detain you for suspicious behavior.

Nah, people plane spot all the time. Some people take pictures. I was just killing 15 minutes before going in the airport. The cop was super cool about it. They should have better signage.

Ok good to know...I hope Eaf was able to find a buffalo chicken wrap in the airport.

So close and the weather can be drastically different too.

What's up with the whole interconnect deal. Is that happening?

I haven't heard anything serious about it in years. Given that Canyons is now Vail, and Brighton and Soli are very much not Vail, I doubt it's going anywhere any time soon. 

[eaf]

Oh well, so the it looks less of a rerun, here are some downtown pics.

And what’s that strange blob that we’ve spotted from the air in the way down?

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Wow looks like Blue.  What a majestic mountain.

Bold move sitting on the sun facing side of the plane. I always choose the non sunny side on afternoon flights so the sun isnt in my eyes the whole time. WTGAI

I usually put the shade down on planes.

@saltyant are you flying anywhere this summer? We could do a boys trip somewhere.

No idea yet, but I'm sure I'll find somewhere fun to go, most likely a national park
