Well, I thought I'd see what it's like to muster cows like our Aussie buddies, so I headed to Sycamore Canyon, which is used by the Sheriff and Fire Dept. as a helicopter practice area....and one guy in a gyro. Unfortunately, there were no cows there that day, so I had to make believe. The pics start off with me entering the canyon, scooting around for awhile and then leaving the canyon. Didn't even see a rabbit.

Fort pikchoor. Sycamore Canyon, continuing northbound. To the left, over the ridge is the edge of MCAS Miramar.

Ken, Nice pics. I would have a hard time no seeing much Green in the landscapes though.

Ken: Thanks for some awesome pictures. All we have in Illinois is corn and downed trees. :mad:

I want to be a cow musterer myself...but the local farmers dont appreciate me practicing on their herds. :eek:

Ron, this is kind of a low, rocky mountain area, but I'll find some green for you. There may be some demented guys trying to hit a little white ball with a stick on it...but maybe I can find some without them.

You obviously borrowed one of those "eye in the sky" gyro stabilized camera mounts. Makes your 90º banked mustering turns look too tame.
