got some nice flying in at tarkio . had so much fun after landing and warming up i had to go up for my last flight of the day . dan holinback snapped this spectacular photo as i came in for landing. it was lighter than it looks.
The slot canyon of the San Raphael River appeared a few miles further downstream. It is deep dark canyon with no escape.
We followed the slot to Mexican Mountain. I circled the mountain for fun, then came down to land.
This is the view that greeted us as we approached Mexican Mountain Airstrip.
After landing and with some hesitation, I checked the cabin and found it empt...somehow. I found out later the pilot had crashed here on land...
