Today is Thursday, Feb. 28th. I got a call from Lt. Agnew of the Chelan Co. sheriff's office today. She works in Emergency Management. Since I decided, recently, to start volunteering with Chelan Co. in the area of Search & Rescue, I have been doing some things out of that office. She wanted to know if I wanted to go for a helicopter ride today. I had earlier talked with her about hitching a ride in March to do some GPS & mapping on Badger Mountain for Emergency plans on evacuations on that mountain, in the event of a wild fire. So I went down to the heliport and hopped on the Sheriff's one of two 'birds'. We first flew up to the Cashmere area to take pictures of the County Fairgrounds for future training. Then Up onto Badger, in the snow, and checked some roads. Then we headed south, down the Columbia River to check on a place that may have a Meth Lab somewhere on the property. Then back upriver, back to Wenatchee. It was a great ride. Sorry for the bouncing in the video. It's a little unsteady, at times, and you're strapped in pretty tight and can't move around much to take pictures. But it wasn't too bad. Enjoy. Rick

Another sweet video Rick. You are a hard act to follow. Now who has a jet I can use...?
