The Goosenecks

I flew up to Monument Valley (and back) Nov 7,8,9.  On Saturday (Nov 8) Paul, Rick and I flew up to Bluff, UT to meet a group coming down from Cortez, CO.   I grabbed this picture of Paul, flying over the Goosenecks of the San Juan, River.

Although this picture looks like suicide for Paul, and myself the photographer, we were always within a 45deg glide of the mesa tops which were flat and smooth.  Only one minor difficulty, some of the emergency LZ mesa tops were islands in the sky and would have required a helicopter extraction.

More to come.
