Last Sunday we coordinated a somewhat last minute flight down to Pierce County/Thun field to meet up with some CF members one of whom owns a Grumman. We decided to fly in loose formation down to Packwood airport south of Mt. Rainier. The route took us over Longmire then through a small valley called Skag Creek. The valley had many waterfalls and was really beautiful.

The ceilings and visibility were good enough for some great views of Mt. Rainier.

Our formation was not at tight as the blue angels - nor as fast. The Cessna could not keep up with the Grumman very well.

They cut down some of the trees that were directly on this approach to RWY 1 at Packwood. A nice little coffee shop is one block away; there is a bar and pizza place very near too - plus plenty of loggers in big pick-ups.
