From the Logbook...Shut Down

Well...just like life. After a long and tiring fight to get my pilot's license I still cannot fly. This time it is due to the weather. We have had a week very similar to what we always had during our time in Shell, Ecuador. It has been very rainy with low cloud decks. Due to the very rugged terrain and mountains where all of our airstrips are, we just cannot safely reach our airstrips. Therefore we have been twiddling our thumbs with little tasks around the office until the weather breaks.

Here is a look from near the Oaxaca airport showing just where we need to go. Right up that pass is the route to most of our airstrips. Although we have been "grounded" for about 4 days, it has been nice to have all the rain and cool weather. I even put on a sweater last night to which Brooklyn asked me "Dad, what iS that, like a coat thing or sumthun?" Poor girl doesn't even know what a sweater is. Wait till she sees winter in Colorado!
