Back to Grand Forks

JaceTheAce · January 7th, 2007, 20:21

So is everyone ready to go back to Grand Forks? I really can't wait

.

Had a blast here... flew over the Golden Gate Bridge 3 times, buzzed over Alcatraz and flew close to San Fran and over the Bay Bridge. Lunch at Half Moon Bay was a treat too...good food!

MrLeisure757 · January 7th, 2007, 22:06

Yeah, I flew back in tonight. I almost cried upon landing because I was back in North Dakota. Luckily, TheShocker and Venezuelana were able to console me in baggage claim.

stuckingfk · January 7th, 2007, 22:30

I'll never be back again!!!

Houston isn't much better, but at least I can wear a t-shirt this time of year.

How does that Bay Tour work, Jace? I've wanted to do it, but never actually gotten up and out there. Are there set tracks, or just stay below the Bravo?

Screaming_Emu · January 7th, 2007, 23:28

was 70 degrees here in maryland yesterday :-P

Half moon bay is awesome, i hit a few golf balls into the water out there last year

I just remained below the bravo, AngelFuree helped me navigate... then he flew on the way back and I navigated. You don't have to follow a specific route. We went wherever we wanted.

I get in tonight at 11:30ish.

I heard that we could get about an inch of snow some time later this week.

Jace,
when were you in HAF? That is the airport that I did my flight training out of. I do most of my flying when Im home out of Palo Alto (PAO).

UAL747400 · January 8th, 2007, 20:15

I've been back since Thursday. I haven't done a dang thing except work. I could be studying for the CFI stage checks or maybe calling up my instructor and getting going again, but I'm having a hard time getting motivated to do that.

Sweet pics, but damn the haze. Makes me miss flying around the Chicago area. There's probably more to look at in the bay area though. I'd love to do that some day.

Rodger that!

Found a place in Hermosa Beach, moving today in the 80 degree heat is going to be rough!

Think I might take some surfing lessons this weekend...oh how I miss GF.

Very nice pictures. Is that you flying the CJ1?

ZUKO · January 9th, 2007, 23:32

I am likely the only one of you guys actually happy to be back.

I went to Arizona this break and it did not feel like home at all. I worked a full time job at Macys over the break to keep me busy. While I can trash ND with the best of them, I feel like this is home.

I also feel like I have unfinished business academically and am excited to get flying again.

I did not realize how much I wanted to get back here until I ran from seperate ends of the MSP airport terminal in 6 minutes barely making my flight. I ran so fast that they had to give me oxygen on the plane because they were worried about me passing out. (long story)

Yeah, fun places w/ a variety of things to do aren't for everyone. I can't blame you for liking ND.

Hey Angel where'd you take that photo in your avatar? Must be some nice wine bar. Is that in Grand Forks?

It's actually East Grand Forks. We can go wine tasting there if you'd like!

Still have been wanting to go to that Indoor Go-Cart track... then a round of indoor miniature golf... then a spirited drive through the windy twisty hilly roads.

AngelFuree · January 10th, 2007, 00:29

I actually went Go-Carting yesterday w/ some friends. It's that new indoor recreational place about 5 minutes from here. It was the best I've seen in the world, better than what NYC has to offer. I don't have my driver's license yet, but I was riding down the twisty road (I think it's called Washington or something) as a passenger and it was a lot of fun! You've gotta negotiate those turns at 5 mph sometimes since they're so twisty. I love seeing all of the german cars around here.

Nothing beats it, really. Nothing beats it.

Its not the city I like. Its the fact that it feels like home. I have no idea why it does over my cozy hometown in the suberb of Seattle.
