Late Afternoon in Sandy Eggo

[KenSandyEggo]

Here are 20 pics that I took while flying around this afternoon in no particular order. The first one is where I saw the fox the other day. Looks like a small, abandoned airstrip next to the road. The rest are of my gyro, new home construction, valley flying, ranches, hilltop flying and 2 pics of a mostly squarish plot of land in the "Little Mountains," miles from anywhere with an outhouse and a sign on it. There was nothing else around there. I'll go back and check it out one day. They're the last pic in this post and the first one in the next post. Looks like I could land and take off nearby. Weird.

Next 8 photos

Here are the last 4 of the 20. If you double-magnify the 2nd one, you can see some horses in the center of the photo. Best I could do for animals this week. The 3rd one is a small ranch that got caught in the last wildfires. It's about 1,000 yards from the abandoned airstrip. I've done a low fly-by, but it looks too rough to take a chance.

Ken: I dont know whose pictures are best....yours or John Wilkersons. Thanks for posting such a nice display and what has to be a most enjoyable use of a gyrocopter.

How about some shots of Blacks beach? ;)

Ken,
WOW! Between you and Stan Foster I feel like I've traveled with you both. Great shots bro! Thank you. Pix like those give me that "shot in the arm" adrenaline rush to keep me motivated during my gyro build, when sometimes all I see is pieces of aluminum lying about. Helps me stay focused on the end goal.

Your friend,
Brian Jackson

Ken, I really enjoy all of your posts. You have a very cool gyro, you take great pics, you explain them well, you present good questions, and have well thought out answers to other peoples questions. It's folks like you, UDI, Al, RotoPix, scottessex, gyroron, caribean gyro, and all the rest, that make this forum such a good place to visit everyday. Thank you all very much.

I also look forward to the OZ boys down under and their "mustard painting cow" pics and stories. I can't think of a better job than flyin' low over the cows I was growin'.

Okay, now to baseball... How 'bout those Mets, eh?

You like looking at a bunch of naked guys holding hands? That's pretty much what it's become. And you can't even get a decent hot dog there anymore. All the vendors have moved north and I have to walk a......whoops.....never mind. :o

Hee-hee, "you don't scare me!" Just because we may disagree on something doesn't mean I don't enjoy the conversation. I mean, I disagree with Dean Dolf on almost everyting that comes out of his mouth... but I still like talking to him. (just kidding Dean it was good to see you today, thanx for taking over the Sec. post)

Yeah, I wasn't going to post in the Gary thread anymore... but it's kinda like a car wreck... you just have to look.
