Today was the day the fliers have been waiting for. Just perfect: calm, warm, just a bit hazy so the sun wasn't in their eyes.
Paul and Gary went up for nearly two hours! Both were ecstatic when they returned. I can see these power parachutes make people "high" in more than one sense of the word, lol.
The power parachutes are unique in their ability to cruise low to the ground. I asked, "How Low?" Paul said: "Two feet....no kidding." They cruised along winding 4 wheeler roads, and traveled Preachers Pass, the mountain pass we took coming back from Southern Cross mine.
They enjoyed huge open vistas of all the little towns seen at once, Brenda, Bouse, Parker, Quartzite.
This is as close to flying like a bird as a human can get!

Great shots!! Looks like you are having a ball. The desert is indeed a beautiful place. It's a warm, inviting area this time of year. ( unbearably hot in the summer tho)
