gen3flygirl Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I posted it a while back but as a few of you know I moved to Maine for the summer to fly skydivers. So far I have only had one day actually flying them because it has rained for a solid week straight. With that being said I fucking love it up here! The day I did get in flying was amazing. The airport isn't to far from Baxter state park and mt katahdin, the start of the Appalachian trail. My baby View from my office The rain finally broke today and we didn't have any jumpers so I went in search of a moose. The mountain ende up having fresh snow on it. Found a moose!!!! And moose poop! Sorry for the shitty iPhone pictures. My first big paycheck will go towards a nice camera. I will post more pictures as the season goes on. Thursday I get to go white water rafting. With all the rain the rivers have been crazy so it should be a good time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVTPilot Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 What you are doing is why I tell my kids each day to do what you love and you can do anything you want if you work hard for it. Thanks a ton for sharing your experience up there with us here. This is awesome, and hope you get to enjoy every minute of your time up there. Keep the cool pics coming! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gen3flygirl Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Looks like you're having fun. Glad for you. Be careful.My knuckle is busted up from drunken mattress rides down the stairs at 2 in the morning and I have a blister on my boob from a hot ash landing on it from the fire. How I managed not to hurt myself riding the mechanical bull at the bar Saturday night is beyond me. But you're right I should be careful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gen3flygirl Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Wow. Maine doesn't look anything like I imagined... More like Colorado with more water! Thanks for sharing.Yeah Maine is a lot more wet than what I thought it would be. In the summer time we still get bad fire risk but there are a ton of rivers and lakes in the area. Central Maine is really hilly/ mountainous and the coast is really flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
