Road Trip

Booked me a road trip for next weekend.    It’s more than likely gonna be short, but with a little encouragement we could make it longer.   A little road time never hurt anybody.

About 8 years ago, I found me a pretty trippy ghost town that quite frankly, really freaked me out when I was there.    Out in the middle of nowhere Nevada I found this place.     Within a 175 miles of a Nevada road that was straight as a rifle barrel, I passed a total of 2 cars.   It was Currant Nevada, and I dug it.    This time, I’m going to take a few more pictures and enjoy it.    Document it.  Maybe ask around, and get a few stories.    I’m Taking the drone.   It was a place pretty much frozen in time.    The place has had my curiosity for 8 years.   I’ll post some video, and try to tell what stories I have.

There’s some cool old ghosts along this road.   Chuck Yeager learned to fly there.   Fortunes were made and lost.   The extra terrestrial highway.    I kinda dig it.

Riding and road trips, are always just a little mystery  figure out here and there.    God help me, I do love it 🙂

It might be cool.

First Drone Test – Yuneec Typhoon G

Pretty cool.   I can have some fun with this.   As soon as it warms up, I’ve got some shots in mind to start video documenting some of my favorite spots up here in a month or so as it starts warming up and the smog in the valley starts clearing out.

Took up up about 375 feet and got a feel for the controls.    This thing flies like a dream.

Test flight day

I spent most of this morning reading up on the controls of this drone and putting it together.   Watched some videos, and tried not to shoot from the hip like I normally do.   I didn’t want to fish this thing out of the gravel pit like the old one.     Finally, I went out and just tried it.

Night and day compared to the last one.    It just did exactly what I told it to.    Very cool.   The GPS controls are nice, and there’s a few things I need to learn and dial in, but overall I’m pretty stoked.    Its got me thinking of a few places I’d like to document:   Wendover Airfield, and an old ghost town about 30 minutes away from here.   Places I couldn’t get to, and to maybe see it from a birds eye view.

Yeah, I’m stoked.    Think I found myself a new hobby.    Already starting to think about a few road trips….
