That's a neat shot John, looks like the water is pretty high.

John, engine failure at this point, you'd better hope you have the 'Lima Gear's' 5 second gear cycle and a quick finger! What's up with you airline guys and your 3 degree slope? LOL

This is the high water point due to Spring/Summer snowmelt and runoff. In the Fall this would be dirt under us. The lake is about 12 miles long and we flew from the north end to Alpine Airpark at the south end a few hundred feet off the water with the gear up, then put the gear down at a normal glidepath angle. Carolyn was doing the photography.
