Dirt, Rocks, Weeds, the usual

Ran out to Eastern Utah last week and explored a new area near Grand Gulch. Ran up and down a dry wash, camping and hiking.

Found some off-the-radar Indian ruins ...


I thought this buffalo was freaking artistic ...

The flowers were rocking.






Stopped in Western Colorado for some more pinstriping

Got some freakish mileage between Ridgeway and Colorado Springs. It's not even sort of flat, with two high passes including the Continental Divide. There were a lot of tourists out, so I couldn't fly, but still. It ticked down from 21.2 to 21.1 while I was backing into the garage. And this is corrected, stock was 6% too optimistic. Wow.

Turbo vehicles do so much better in the thin air. So much less wind resistance (air density is not linear - 18,000’ is 1/2 atmosphere)
