“We went on an airplane that put skis on the floats. But on the way back, the pilot wasn’t able to get the skis to lift up and we had to land near the airport out in the brush, Barbara said.
She said getting outdoors was important in their relationship.
“We were a family that was outside almost every day doing something. Hiking, skiing, biking, you name it, but Eaglecrest was the focal point of our early married life, she said.
