Corey Rust here for Envi Adventures. We have had an incredibly great summer flying so far. We’ve met some great people and have seen some really great stuff. Around here, we love flying no matter what time of year, but summer of course always makes for wonderful flights. As we continue towards the end of summer and into fall and winter, we need to remind you that we don’t stop just because the sun sets a little earlier. We’re Oregonians! We don’t stop for a little rain. Come on. Coming up in October we will be doing our first ‘Portland Pumpkins’ route and we are absolutely excited about this! Curious what it is? Well, I’ll tell you…. Your flight will take off from the Troutdale Airport and head over toward Portland’s Sauvie Island. That in and of itself isn’t all…

Hey, Corey Rust here with Envi Adventures. Everybody loves the 4th of July! It’s the Christmas of summer with family and friend gatherings for barbecues, camping on the mountain, boating on the river, and everyone’s favorite…blowing up cheap Chinese made explosives. Nothing says freedom better than that. But when we think about the 4th, we also think of the sacrifice so many have made to maintain the freedoms we do have. These incredible men and women go where they’re called without second guessing even though the conflict might not even make sense. They go with courage and the respect of millions. So to those who go downtown and protest whatever it is they’re protesting, yelling and screaming at each other over petty disagreements, try shutting up for a second and think about the fact that there’s a young and courageous…

Hey, Corey Rust for Envi Adventures. Summer time. Vacations. Traveling. It’s what people look forward to for months and months. But when people plan a trip, they plan to do the cliche stuff. In Portland, everyone goes to VooDoo Doughnuts, PIttock Mansion, and Multnomah Falls. Nothing wrong with that. But did you know there are in fact other things to do? Yep. In the Columbia River Gorge alone, in addition to the ever famous Multnomah Falls, there are 74 other waterfalls, 54 separate hiking trails, and 21 parks! That’s a whole week of activity right there! Here’s the problem– everybody knows how incredible the gorge is. That’s why 4 million people visit Multnomah Falls every year. There’s nothing like being stuck in the car and battling crowds while using up that hard earned vacation time. So here’s an idea, fly…

Hey, Corey Rust here for Envi Adventures. Winston Churchill once said that “To improve is to change; to perfect is to change often.” Change is something a lot of people can’t accept, or even go as far as won’t accept. I admit it, I have a hard time with change too. It’s not that I’m a misty eyed nostalgist that yearns for days long past. I don’t know what it is. Probably laziness. But one change I can get behind is the changes you’ll see at Envi Adventures. We’ve recently revealed and introduced a new look on our airplane. And if you recall what it looked like before, this is a change I can get behind. And that’s good, because I designed and paid for it. Unless you’re color blind, the airplane has a predominately blue theme. Some might say…
