Yep drone though......pics can do this area no justice
Little traveled area...about an hour from the pavement
See a cowboy looking for cows every so often....but none today in my 6 hrs bumming
Here's a few pics from the sky...be patient...I'm still learning the drone thing...
For those not in the know..you operate it with your phone...very easy to lose track of it
Runs 35 mph in sport mode...quiet as ever...GPS map shows you where you are from your 'home point'
Get in trouble..run outta battery....hit the RTH button....return to home !
Full batteries run approx 28 minutes....6 mile range......sorta.....

Great Pictures Tikka. I can attest that pictures do not do that area any justice. The colors and rock formations are truly spectacular.

It looks like one of those 1962 Chevrolet commercials. You seem to be getting the hang of it Tikka. kwg

Pretty good photo quality for a drone.

I’m blowing up your pictures and looking for mule deer in the sun below the rock faces. 🙂 Nice pictures. How big is the drone? I imagine state regulations have already taken all of this into account, but if it’s of a packable size, or, can be flown up vertically from a trailhead, somebody, somewhere is going to fly drainages and hunt elk with it.

Well, I've been wanting one of those things for some time but have never flown one. Brand and model you'd suggest? Looks like something I'd have fun with. Thanks much!
Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
