Got to love the north country except the weather!

Postby birdie » Tue Dec 02, 2003 3:34 am

The flight started great then the weather got pretty bad so we had to land on a remote lake and setup camp. Good thing that the temp is only -5*C and a nice tent heater.

Thanks for all the nice comments.  You can't actually come to a complete stop on the lakes or you will sink.  They are just white water textures to make them look more realistic.  But you can make it look good.

If I would have come to a complete stop I would sink though.
