I just wanted to relax,go fishing,canoeing,or something else,but the day before i left,i met a few tourists and their guide who had a serious problem: they wanted to make a canoe-trip on a certain river up there and planned to go there by airplane. but all of a sudden,their pilot got ill. when they told me about it,i asked ,if i could fly 'em ,because i had some experience with float planes.
after a short discussion with the owner of the otter, we took off from vernon to the requested destination.
in this pic,which i took from a canoe,the super otter sits calmly at the edge of the river. i had a few very nice hours avec those guys there (including some fried fish...).
when i decided to leave,i radioed the owner of the otter about what to do next. he said ,that he hadn't had no further assignments for me and that i could use the plane for the rest of the day...
i immediately decided to explore the landscape of british columbia a bit,and so i went northwards,following one of those big rivers.
thundering over a lake...awesome landscape!
the first snow-covered mountains in front of me.
pulling for a nice scenic shot of the otter and the mountain.
leaving the river and heading for a small airport located behind that mountains.
stay tuned for part two...
