He's back!! Helicopter rides that is.........
« on: Aug 21, 2008, 01:56:18 PM »
Yup, Mel will be back to do rides again this year. So head off to the bank or be sure to bring your checkbook.
We are checking in to doing Credit Cards but not sure yet.

The prices will be:
$60.00 per person with 3 minimum or $180.00 for the helicopter.

Rides will be on Saturday only, at a time to be determined. Stay tuned.

Somewhere around 15 minutes.

Thats pretty reasonable, especially with the cost of fuel

no kidding, the helicopters we have out here to do personel transfers cost about 15 dollars a min to keep running... thats what we are getting charged atleast.
There is a fine line between clever and stupid, I just wish I knew when I crossed it.

We did this last year....what a blast!  SO worth the $$!  We are so doing this again this year!.  We were up there close to 30 min!!  We ran the trail and took a "look" at all the lakes...there are a couple we never even knew were out there.

Don't worry if you don't have 3 people in your group...there was a long list of singles...just like Disneyland...you will get the ride.

Really cool that they take checks tooo...more $$ for the raffel tickets!!   Don't forget to take a camers...it is amazing!
