Backcountry Flying Photo of the Week - Mount Tatlow, BC
I posted a video a few days ago showing the trailer of Ice Pilots NWT, a reality show the follows the team at Buffalo Airways in Northern Canada. Since then I have had some people asking about my back country flying so I thought I would share a few photos I have taken over the years. The cool thing about backcountry flying is that many times the only way to get into these remote locations is by plane or helicopter. Sometimes you can pile a bunch of gear on horses and trek for a week but an airplane is far more efficient.
This photo was taken in the Chilcotin region of BC very close to some of the most amazing mountains and lakes that BC has to offer. The mountain in the background is Mt. Tatlow (10 049 ft) that sits at the lower end of Chilko Lake and Taseko Lakes. The airplane is sitting next to a 4000 foot grass airstrip on Elkin Creek Ranch.

Cool Videos of a great Jazz / Country guitar player: Steve Trovato. Check it out...
When I was a much younger lad I attended the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA where I studied guitar. One of my teachers, Steve Trovato, was a huge influence on my playing and he used to spend countless hours mentoring our entire class in live playing workshops. These workshops gave us the opportunity to perform to a live audience made up of the local Los Angeles music scene and a bunch of nut cases that walked off of Hollywood Boulevard. I was a bit of a hack back then(I still am I think!) but some of the students were incredible and many went on to successful careers in the music business. I got an email from Steve today with a link to a new video of him playing a cool song.
