Our cross country trip to
Kodak Tennessee
November 12th 2005
This days plan was to visit some friends we haven't seen in what seems forever who have a place here in Tennessee in a town called Kodak. In helicopter time it wasn't a long mission, (about 25 minutes tops) and getting to the area we were planning on landing at was the easy part. What proved to be a bit of a trick was all we had to go on as far as the location was large yellow track hoe and two piles of barn wood from a couple of barns that once reined proudly over the land that had been dissassembled for relocation to some sort of a historic museum or something to that order. When we arrived at our target area we found that it was like looking for a needle in a hay stack and in needless to say it took a call to the ground to locate our friends place. It turned out we had been circling right over the top of them the whole time lol.
