Viewing Album:  Chicago Trip (16th-17th)
 
By:SDfourD Photography
Dates:10/17/2009 - 10/17/2009
Album Info:My last hurrah for Chicago of the year looked to be a wash on the weather forecast, but upon arriving It showed potential. A cloudy and short Friday saw two C40-8's as leaders, one of which was the 7587, complete in its Stealth attire albeit with yellow ends. Moving onto a beautiful Saturday with plenty of sun to go around, and another nice set of leaders to round out the trip. Short but productive, enjoy the shots and leave comments!
