Flight and frost

Commercial flights have started at our local airport. I'm of course very excited about this, but could never possibly be as excited as Garrett. On Saturday, I dropped him off there so he could have his first flight. Just a trip to Portland and back. That's the difference between us, he'll fly just for the experience, whereas I wouldn't bother without at least one night's stay. So I was geared up and ready for a walk, and drove straight from the airport to Langus for a walk.

Garrett wrote up a really wonderful post about it. If you look in this video from it, you can see the big expanse of fog I walked in. It appears 30 seconds in at the bottom.
