WOW!!!! A never before posted in forum!! Adhering to my non-conformist approach to life....I'll take the lesser traveled path & pull out my green cray to post my trip report here....despite the fact I virtually flew over the roads!!

I flew out of La Paz, searching for Mike, DonKay & Solo, unfortunately, due to lack of cooperation on the pilot's part to fly at an altitude conducive to these old eyes spotting a white donkey amongst the barren terrain....a DonKay sighting simply wasn't in the cards.

First pic shows El Comitan, with CIB & the shrimp beds (rectangular shapes along the water) on the right edge. Point of interest maybe only to me....this pic encompasses all 3 of the casas I've built....if you know where to look!

Flew over some very rugged terrain, but alas, spotted no DonKay tracks!

I got shots of several island along the way. I was curious whether I'd done a flyover of BG's, but none of the shapes appear to match Isla San Martin. Well, that & the fact that there was land on both sides of the water tell me we mighta been following a little more of an Eastern flight path! I'll be the first to admit to being directionally challenged!!

And I gotta register a complaint with Alaska Air about the terrible view & photo opportunities on the Q400 due to crappy OEM engineering design for nacelle placement!!

I waved as you went over!!!!!

That damned nacelle really put a crimp in my sunset from 30,000' shots!! Pilot banked perfectly for my first shot & then refused to cooperate again!!

I saw my first SNOW in 7 years!! Ditto for freezing rain, steel gray skies, moss green & a major amount of really cold rain!!

But gawd was it nice to get back home....well, except after I got home, my friend who picked me up & helped me unpack left some old pics & other "treasures" in an envelope on my bed....when I ran her home, Maggie & Jenny expressed their disappointment over my leaving them so soon after my 2-week absence & chewed the ratone poop out of a bunch of old pics as a loud commentary of their feelings of abandonment!

I know!! I didn't post that pic because of how many fingers you used to wave!

Our cats "punish" us when we leave them alone too long by unrolling all the toilet paper and paper towel rolls in the house...

My very sensitive feelings as well as my immoral upbringing, is greatly offended that you think I would make a gesture that you could find offensive at 30,000 feet.

When it is obviously easier to bribe you highly pedigreed hounds to make an expression of my nature.
