Plane Party!!!

Yes, that is right a plane party.  I wish i had pictures to show you but lo and behold my camera that i forgot is still on its way. Can't wait to get it.  Well Today after church we had a day of rest, i know... how ironic, actually resting on a Sunday.  Well we went to the air strip and got on some pretty small planes.  Mine was i think made in 1969, but i completely forget so don't hold me to it.  Umm but the person who flew me to the plot of land 10 minutes away was Austen, he is 19 and has over 150 hours logged as commanding pilot.  I think that is pretty stinkin cool.

But it was so cool and such a surreal experience.  I mean i just couldn't believe it.  So besides talking to Austen we flew over to this place that would have taken an hour and a half to get to by car.  We landed on their self made run way between the trees. Got out, had some amazing lunch, or supper as some would call it, that was made on the griddle and over the fire.  We had some fun conversations and just an amazing time.

I LOVE ALASKA!!! :)

Well we eventually did some worship, haha, funny story.  This one older lady had brought her bongos, which could have been out of tune (they were a little) and was playing slightly off beat with Brenda Crim ( The BCM director for the University of Alaska, Anchorage - UAA).  Brenda was playing guitar and after the first song she got me to play the bongos but she did it in the most secretive way possible.  She mentioned that i was one of the college students up here helping out this summer and said i played the drums and so got me to take her place.  Smooth Brenda, just smooth.  But it was cool because an older gentleman came over at the beginning of the third song and rocked it out with his harmonica.  He asked which key, which was G, and we just played. Worship my friends, is beautiful and indescribable... funny how that works.

After worship Scott Kirby spoke and after that we made some S'mores.  (sadly with no chocolate, but as Austen said, two out of three isn't bad.)

But now the reason for the Title.  There were no cars there at all, i don't even think the guy that owns the property got there by driving, if he did i sure didn't see his car.  Again, no cars, Everyone there, about 20 plus people, got their by flying.  HOW STINKIN COOL! I love it, i mean usually it is like hey guys lets hang out at this place or their house or my house and we all would drive there.  Well... that aint how they roll in Alaska, they fly.  I mean so crazy.  It felt pretty cool going to that sorta seclusive little get together.  What a great flying community.  LOVE IT!
