John Lovell Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 An early departure from Darrington, this flight will be a 100 mile picturesque trek over the Mt Baker Forest National Park. Just just incase any bad weather comes in, I dont wanna be caught out in those peaks, so ill take the Cessna equipt with skis for this one... you never know! Departing Darrington from the East, its a shap turn right following the Valley South [img width=1121 height=700]http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/5512010_9_30_21_15_30_241.jpg Following the river and the Mountain Loop highway on the right [img width=1121 height=700]http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/4992010_9_30_21_15_32_953.jpg [img width=1121 height=700]http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/9032010_9_30_21_20_33_452.jpg We need to climb abit as we near Mt Baker... weather on our side today but still good job I got the skis!

Must skim the trees and be ready to land any moment.. would never be able to do this in low visibilty [img width=1160 height=626]http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/9112010_9_30_22_14_39_474.jpg And suddenly there she is!...
