If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.

Going back up the slot, that's 'AKG mountain goat' on the left and 'rez rider' on the right.

Hey Gary

its:
lat 38degrees 8'8.76" n
long 110degrees 24' 18.82"w

i like it better in all decimals but i don't know how to convert it on google earth

if the wind would allow it i'd land up river away from the cliff…. i didn't because the wind was up the river 5-8 mph…. you have a good 300' usable...if you land down river i suppose its obvious that u don't want to mess up and use 310'

Re: PITEPS Wanted: SE Utah

Thanks also Blu, I am going to make a sincere effort to make it down there soon, I am inspired thanks to your report! That and my neighbor who drove down and hiked there. It's just short enough (the strip) to be interesting also :twisted: I have neglected my southern neighbor Utah in my play time over the years, I head north more often then not, and it's nice to know another vast area with lots of fun places awaits. I have yet to have the urge to fly to Alaska, I have not got bored around here yet.

Actually it was your videos and trip reports that inspired me to go there! I'm glad I did, more to explore in the future.
Our M5's would look identical if it weren't for paint.
