CROSSWINDS

Jim does a great job of landing in difficult wind conditions.

COMING IN FOR A LANDING

Crosswinds make for a shaky landing.
Bella enjoys the desert as we wait for Paul and Denny to land.

Cosey and Joann come in nicely.

PAUL FLIES WITH DENNY

I wait nervously with Garey and Joann for Paul and Denny to land safely. Crosswinds made for a shaky landing, but everyone was OK.
Had to get some John Deere shots for Denny.

Our truck tucked into our awesome new camp site.

Garey and Joann in the air.

Garey and Joann take off.

PAUL FLIES WITH COSEY

Nice takeoff, Terry
Jim's pretty chute overhead.

Mary and Denny flying low in the calm air.

Mary and Denny take off.

Just a little nervous, but loving it just the same.

Getting ready for takeoff.

C'mon chute, go UP!! :) (it did)

MARY GETS TO FLY WITH DENNY

I get some shots of Paul and Garey (Cosey) over the desert. It was a bit windy and Mary was fighting a case of the jitters.


Cosey's beautiful chute.

My pilot Denny points out a bird nesting hole in the saquaro.

Low and slow for a touch and go....

Jim preparing to touch and go on the road.

Our awesome new pool in Black Rock. (87 degrees yesterday, mmmmmm)

SHEEP HUNTING WITH DENNY AS A GUIDE

Those who know us realize this is not sheep hunting, literally. Denny guided us in his powered parachute as we looked for the large band of bighorn sheep that have been spotted several times over the area known as Sheep Canyon.
Denny flying low and slow in the canyon.

The game watering area.

Friends on the trail.

Saquaro ribs and brittle bush blooming.

Our guide, leading us down the trail. I just can't describe how much fun this was, and so exciting. We kept in touch by hand held radios as we scouted out the desert canyons looking for the big sheep.

What an awesome guide!

Desert flowers starting to bloom.

So pretty out here.

Denny does a low "fly by" over our RZR. (isn't this a pretty shot?)

Our guide leading us across the high desert.

A relaxed and happy pilot.

Paul looks across the canyon as our guide flies in. Denny dropped a stuffed toy dog 2 feet from me!
