Show r. r 1 a Editor Takes Pictures From Airplane ane Saturday Last Saturday Leo Burraston took me in an airplane around Butte twice low and close and three dandy shots were taken of the old Windmill ruins there where once Flood was going to harness harness har har- ness our gentle zephyrs In a making juice-making machine and deliver lights and power over the Big Flat FIat Leo maneuvered the plane Into best position for a picture and then came back again over the same spot In order to give a re re- re peat pent We then flew low over the Craters Craters Craters Crat Crat- ers west of Fillmore where he circled them for five or six times me excellent opportunities to get views We Ve were close and I low and the pictures If properly taken should be very pleasing I pointed out to Leo the underground I or conduit once filled with gushing spurting fiercely fiercely fiercely fier fier- cely hurled melted lava now empty and running under the crater pit One can enter this passage and go down about thirty-five thirty feet untIl until until un un- un- un til stopped by water We flew so close to the pint size crater that I could have reached out the open open open op op- op- op en window and stroked it Dull red I hope I got a dandy of that Leo then skimmed quite close over the black lava flow low and I pointed out the spatter cones where the slowly moving melted lava jammed hurled up great chunks and piled them in jagged jagged jagged jag jag- ged Confusion rifts empty spaces and then furrows and again jagged jagged jagged jag jag- ged masses some huge A very fine sight sight sight- the closest I have been over it by air We saw the fault north and followed followed followed fol fol- fol- fol lowed it for its entire length I told Leo where the Indian petro- petro glyphs were cut on the rocks and also Captain J. J H. H Henshaw 1854 I also pointed out to him the Devils Devils Devils Dev ils il's Kitchen which years ago when one drove over this thin shell reverberations could be heard of the jolting wagon wagon- of course lost to a tired rubber-tired auto I have never heard them talking down below there but I did hear the clatter ofa of ofa a shovel as a gink got tired of spitting on his hands and shoveling coal on YOU bad eggs When I am amon amon amon on a cloud sipping soda and angels cool my blistered feet by cooling currents from Crom their wings wings- but why gloat Ive I've played a string one-string harp for Cor years and when they give me a halo and five strings say what melody I will give off from my perch on high We then went over the sand dunes low and close and the actual actual actual ac ac- ac- ac ripples of the wind-blown wind sand could be seen we were that close I r ran out of film What a mutt not notto notto notto to take a second roll I certainly wished for more before we got back home Then we went over the airport and I said to Leo Gee I wish I had a re load in the camera I want that just from here on just such a day Well that means another another another an an- other flight Leo laughed and with humor in hi his hip voice said are you good for a spin Can you take it I replied Sure go ahead Im I'm game Try one on me So he slowed the plane down tipped its hose nose up and then my in innards innards innards in- in nards rushed up my head felt queer my riz up like the foam on beer and I was drunk by gosh DRUNK My head like it did that time I tried to put Old Soak under the table and he laid me flat Just as Leo pulled er out of it my bean was pretty grog grog- gy He cut a Figure Eight in the sky nice and graceful and it was fun Now that I have graduated on and I get my pilot license day after tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow tomor tomor- row and then what a thumping the and rakes will get in their very ver lowliest lairs as I I enjoyed this trip as one of the best local trips I have taken chock chockfull chockfull chockfull full of interest and I hope the colored colored colored col col- ored pictures are good If not another another another an an- other try |
