Gravel Bar and Sand Bar Landings with Brunch at Rowena Golf Course

First of February marked a small adventure flight from CSK8 to Rowena Sandpiper Golfcourse Landing Strip.  Along the way , we got to experience  low level flying and landings on the gravel and sandbars between Mission and Chilliwack. Len and Elke flew in the Piper Vagabond, James Shepherd and Heidi flew in the Rans Coyote, Gary Morical and Ann and Sharon and Darrel joined us at Rowena's Restaurant for a yummy Brunch.  Worth a cold and crisp February winter flight and get together. 

Notice Heidi holding something in her hand?  It is a token for her first gravel bar landing, given to her from Sharon.  Heidi just finished her Commercial License.  So proud we are having such accomplished and fun pilots in our Pacific Pilots Group!
