I feel very fortunate to know someone with a helicopter who graciously offers to take us flying on occasion free of charge. Saturday we flew out to ABDSP to check out some of the more remote, harder to reach areas. In a helicopter you can fly in and land just about anywhere.

You can see all of the photos from our flight on my website here:
