Northwest <strong>Bonanza</strong> <strong>Society</strong><br />
On Saturday, August 16, six airplanes<br />
brought 13 people, induding two<br />
couples from Vancouver, British<br />
Columbia, to San Juan Island, landing<br />
at Friday Harbor Airport. The airport is<br />
on the water just a stone's throw to<br />
Victoria, BC, Canada, on Vancouver<br />
Island.<br />
We enjoyed a wonderfu l lunch at<br />
Ernie's, a Korean restaurant where we<br />
sat outside and watched the airplanes<br />
come and go. When it is nice up here, it<br />
is really nice. We had placed advance<br />
orders for Bugie Gogi. the house<br />
specialty-marinated pork or beef<br />
accompanied by kim chee, a very hot<br />
Korean cabbage dish.<br />
Friday Harbor is a tourist town. and<br />
on beautiful days like this, the boats and<br />
airplanes were flocking to it. Many<br />
came over on ferries, a four-hour trip<br />
considering the wait times, and to fly<br />
here from Seaule takes 20 minutes.<br />
These flying machines of ours are like<br />
magic carpets sometimes, aren't they'<br />
Southwest <strong>Bonanza</strong> <strong>Society</strong> - In spite of the heat on August 9 during the<br />
Southwest <strong>Bonanza</strong> <strong>Society</strong>'S fly-in to Shreveport, Louisiana. these members seem<br />
to be enjoying the "thrill of the chill " at their ice cream social.<br />
We expect to get together a few<br />
more times this year, but be sure to<br />
check our website because we must give<br />
members short notice due to our<br />
changeable Northwest weather.<br />
