Combined hobbies, flying, camping, triathlon
My wife and I had a great trip to Lake Placid, NY. Goal was to volunteer at the Ironman event on Sunday and register to race for next year. Mission accomplished. I was able to snap a few photos. What a great way to combine our hobbies into a weekend trip. The RV made it possible, and turned a 14 hour drive into a 4 hour flight.
A big thanks to the Phil and the Lake Placid Airport. We camped at the end of the runway.
Loaded up and ready for flight.
My wife was so excited that she fell asleep on the way to LP.
My extra safety screw on my oil door rattled out with about the 30 minutes to go. With no where else to land at this point I slowed down a little and continued into LP. Phil was nice enough to find me a replacement the next day.
Our campsite for a few days.. Great location at the end of the runway right next to the woods and a lean-to. Down in the woods is an out house too.
View from the campsite..
Great looking landscapes.

i got to meet phils daughters and had lunch at a water front restaurant which hangs over the lake. the town has a great european feel. my approach was from the se which had me negotiating some ominous mountains. maneuvering speed was a good thing.
