Chinook Ride

On Friday Aaron got to go on a Chinook Helicopter ride. A bunch of people from his office went and had a bunch of fun. I must admit, I was completely jealous that I didn't get to go. Of course, Aaron made sure he sat at the back in case they left the back hatch open.... which they did. He said they flew really close to the mountains and it seemed like the trees were twenty feet away at different points. He was telling me that they could see the trees moving as they flew over them because they were so close. Can you imagine, hiking through the mountains, enjoying the serenity, and all of a sudden it seems as though this giant helicopter is about to smash into you (of course you would have to be deaf to not hear it coming). Anyway, he had a blast, and was very happy to be one of the first groups of the day to go. Apparently there were multiple groups, and when he got home at 4pm, there were still people there waiting to ride.

I must find this lake, except I don't have a clue where it is

Wouldn't you love to have that job, hanging off the back of a helicopter!
