in chronological order. </div> <div> The picture above is N4BQ on the cover of the Piper Owners' Magazine in the July '99 issue. </div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Update 02/05/13 :</U></B>   To all that regularly check in on this site, my apologies for the lack of updates over the last few years</div> <div> It's one of thos things that's always "on the list", but  never quite gets done.    After blocking out a few dozen hours of</div> <div> spare time, I have added 15 new pages covering 2009 and 2010 and updated some old pages.  The rest of the updates</div> <div> are on their way.  The new pages start at "West Yellowstone '09".   There are five new backcountry strips on the site :</div> <div>  Smiley Creek, Sulphur Creek, Elk City, Flying B Ranch and West Fork Lodge.  </div> <bR> <div>   I'm hoping to get the site updated with pages for 2011 and 2012 by the end of February.</div> <bR> <div> <B><U>NEW :</U></B> For some You-Tube Video of our backcountry adventures, visit Mike's
