The week of February 28th to March 7th at Aero Methow Rescue.
I am selecting a few interesting highlights to show you what life is like at Aero Methow.
Thursday night we had a staff goodbye dinner for Justin, Adri and Oona.
See the letter Justin wrote the community under "My Turn" in the Methow Valley News (it is at the bottom of the page) http://methowvalleynews.com/opinion.php . We will miss Justin, Adri and Oona, they are part of our family and have added so much to what we do. Thank you for all you have done for our service and the community!! We love you!!
As soon as dinner was finished Justin and crew responded on an emergency call.
Off they go!
One of my goals this year was to get Vikki out on the ski trails and to do the 200K challenge from MVSTA http://www.mvsta.com/200K.html. We try to get out one day a week that we aren't working.
