High Rock Remembrance : Sunday Nov 8th 4:30pm

Post by markc »

Hey everyone,

Matthew is planning to leave some flowers at High Rock this Sunday in remembrance of Karen. He welcomes any pilots and friends who would like to stop by, so come on up if you can make it!

We'll bring some positive vibes along for a day that will end with an awesome sunset. Rendezvous time is 4:30pm, be there, aloha! 8)

Hard to sum up a day like today. But a bunch of pilots came out to help remember Karen, and I think it also helped Matthew.

There were *scads* of people up there for the sunset, gridlock up top like I've never seen! But ya know... That probably also helped. All kinds of stuff going on, a bit like when we had the bikers and the Menonites and the high-school stoners and the AT hikers : All hanging around to watch us fly. :D

And Matthew reminded us that Karen loved to fly High Rock.

And he wants to see pilots flying the site again.

It's : "OK".

I'll post a photo or two tomorrow.
