RV7 Flight to Twisp, Washington


It's 82 miles and a two-hour drive between Lake Chelan and Twisp, however it took only a few minutes in the airplane. I wish I had timed it, but it felt like five minutes or less, since you fly in a straight line!



Descending for a landing.


Like many airports, it had a courtesy car. Town was several miles from the airport. We decided not to walk, but mainly because it was super hot that day. The car did not have air conditioning, but it did limit our exposure to the sun.

The vehicle looked very much like an old Oldsmobile Delta 88 that we owned in the late 70's. We couldn't get the annoying "fasten your seat belt" chime to stop beeping at us, but I'm not complaining. It was transportation, and it was free.


We ate a great lunch at the Cinnamon Twisp Bakery. The food was fresh and the bread was homemade that morning.


After lunch, we walked around town for awhile and then took the car out on the North Cascades Highway for a few miles.


 

 

Back in town, we were thirsty so we each got a smoothie made from fresh, organic ingredients.


After that, we headed back to the airport and flew home. Sometimes even a day trip can feel like a vacation. This one sure did.
