So really, you could land at Ibex and then bike up to Notch Peak trail head, but it would be about a 30 to 40 mile bike ride. We flew into Ely Nevada and rented a car. Turns out we should have rented...

Mustangs are often referred to as wild horses but, since all free-roaming horses now in the Americas descended from horses that were once domesticated,...
I did a flyover of the Twin Peaks Herd Management area in NE CA / NW NV in order to get an estimate of the number of wild horses and burros. This is a little long at over 5 minutes, but it is a great...
I saw this and thought someone may be interested (I have nothing to do with it).

Did you guys do any fishing while backpacking. Have received varying reports on fishing at Schafer?
Nice video, thanks!!
We didn't fish but the ranger said the fishing in the river and surrounding...

Some of...
This is a fast-paced three minute collection of short clips from flying around the west. There are some fairly unique shots from a motor mount I designed and built.

Very nice. But it begs a question:
1. Did you arrange the party to be somewhere you could take your airplane or,
2. Did you realize, "hey, I could land there!"
Either way you can't beat that entrance...
Count me in. I'm embarrassed to say I've not been before.
I fly out of Placerville, so I suppose I may as well drive so I don't have the expense of renting a car. Or do they have efficient shuttles...
I live fairly close by in Pollock Pines and would also help. I've hiked into and walked the strip and often overfly it. I've always thought that no way could anything be done in California to open that...
