I think Denny is always happy!
George and Bill in deep discussion
Bill and Paul solve the worlds problems
Almost time for takeoff
What a pretty copilot!
DEVIN IN THE AIR
Picture perfect chute opening up
Going down the runway
Devin gives us a wave
Up up and away!
DEVIN GETS READY FOR HIS FLIGHT
Donny and Louise wait: just a little nervous
Devin and Denny strike the "Top Gun" pose
Paul and Bill stand in front of George's Joyner and wait for Devin's takeoff
Denny readies the chute
Dev is ready
No problem using the push to talk radio!
Making sure the belts are secure
Pretty exciting
Devin is all smiles as Denny shows him the helmet he'll wear
Bill takes notes from the sideline
AWESOME PPC FLIGHT FOR DEVIN, DONNY, LOUISE, AND GEORGE

WICKENBURG AND THE VULTURE MINE
We finish our day in Wickenburg with a nice "lupper" at a western restaurant
Bill checks out a big mining pot
Devin and Paul explore a ramshackle bunkhouse
a wonderful old oak ice box made for many
Bill explores the pantry
old iron oven was large capacity
kitchen, mess hall
Mary gets ready to cook supper on the porcelain cook stove
Louise checking out the electrical system
I have no idea what this is
Bill and Paul trying to figure out the electrical system
Donny videoing with his new HD movie camera
acid vats
Louise and Donny
Bill and Paul share opinions on what this piece of machinery really is
OK, so what the heck is it, really?
Bill studies it carefully
Looks complicated
Donny is diplomatic with his opinion
the gang checks out the opening to the Vulture Mine
The old building has about 600,000.000 worth of gold still in the stone walls
They didn't fool around, did they.
These two shady characters might be highgraders
Wonder how much gold is in the fallen pile of rocks?
Assay officers
pantry storage for mine workers
old kitchen sink
fireplace and sitting table, still with hat and beer bottle
Watch your step, Louise!
Hole from the main floor into the cellar?
The two photographers get thier photo taken (thank you Devin)
Time for a beer
Donny enters the old stone building at his own risk
I feel sorry for the poor burros
