Pattern Altitude
Well, we made it. I decided to take the family on a two week flying vacation. Our first stop was Gaston's, we're down in cottage 67 for those that have been here before. The staff has been great, the cottages are wonderful, and the scenery is amazing - the trees have just started to turn.
I was not prepared for the proximity of the hills to the strip, what an experience! The turf was no problem and as I thought 3200 ft is plenty of room. The only problem I had was that we landed around 5:30 last evening and the sun was right in my eyes on final. Makes for a bit of a pucker factor when those trees are so close.
This place is B-E-A-UTIFUL.
I'll post the pics when we get home.
