our Vet and her hubby have their 210 in a hangar across and down from our rental. They use theirs like an SUV and go everywhere. The husband(Ney) wrote a book about destinations and planes. They load it with kids, hiking, rock climbing gear, kayaks, literally everything. His last annual ran close to 11K.[emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]
This cowboy just doesn’t have those type of resources. God bless those that do.

Here is the book he wrote and published. I recommend it if you like doing this type of stuff. He was just telling me about a solo run he made to Alaska and backpacked through, solo in grizzly territory. The are true outdoorsman folks and are some of the most humble and kind people that I know. Our Vet who is a tiny thing has the build of a rock climber and has tackled the insane stuff. Such as the ledges that require you to hang in with just the finger tips.



This quote is “So” true of these two
