Intrepid Flyers

David's little bird, a Cessna 150, gave us a fine ride from Richland, WA, to La Grande, OR, a distance of just over 100 statute miles. The flight showed us the dryland farming of southeast Washington, the forests of the Oregon Blue Mountains, the deep and beautiful La Grande valley, and other curious and interesting sights of man's constant touch on his habitat. Since the advent of GPS applications , many intricate patterns are evident in the fields and sections of rolling farmland which indicate the most efficient plowing and harvesting patterns for each plot of land.
