Day 919: From Glamis to Ogilby

This morning I launched flight #91 and flew east, away from the dunes:

On the way back, I could see most of the dune field from this altitude:

There are now many more RVs here for the three-day weekend:

This video contains this morning’s flight, as well as all the previous Glamis flights from this week:

After the morning flight, we packed up to escape the ever-increasing dust and drove southeast to the Ogilby Road and American Girl Mine Road area.  This BLM area is just a few miles from the southern end of the Glamis dune field, but its far enough away that we’re spared the crowds:

Canyon and Jonathan and I launched (flight #92 for me) and flew out over the neighborhood.  Behold the blessed isolation:

M and I raced along this road.  There was quite a bit of wind, so in this direction I had to do S-turns to avoid leaving him behind:

The air was pretty thermic, as today was a hot day.  I landed about an hour before sunset:

Good Shabbos from Ogilby:

    • Thanks Ben, I’ve really become much more comfortable with wing control, so I can now come down from my perch 500 feet above the ground.
