An Altitude Adjustment . . .

Finally had some good weather & a day off so I got up early Sunday morning & went to a nearby baseball park. This was my second flight since my freak accident in my garage, lost three fingers from the paramotor propeller. It's a belt drive with pull start, not the one in these pics. Been flying this park for a while even though it's kind of a tight take off area surrounded by trees & light poles. Because..nothing will keep me out of the sky, while I'm physically able.  

Chasing the Sun . . .

After a cold, wet winter in the city, it was time to catch some sun & ride the desert wind for this first trip of 2017. I made a couple of nice paramotor flights, visited John at The Field Lab and relocated my firepit & gazebo into the new area cleared by my dozer guy. Eventually this spot will be for a large stone cabin..since I have an abundant supply of natural building blocks all around me. For now, it'll just be one of my wide open relaxation spaces.

The Mesa's Edge . . .

With calm morning winds, I took off from my new tract & flew the west face of 9 point mesa, with the new Air Conception titanium 130cc paramotor. It was truly another dream flight out here. The second day I headed over to the Agua Fria side & flew low thru Agua Fria creek. Back at Neptune valley, got to see the usual..beautiful sunsets, a million campfire stars, javelina's & finally saw some mule deer on a ridge bordering my tract. Winter time also means the campfire gets lit earlier in the evening..but the fire inside never goes out.
