many hikers along the top of this 14'er. Twin Lakes are in the
intermediate distance at the right with the Collegiate range beyond.
Above is the view back to the north across the top of Mount Sherman,

beyond that on the skyline (right to left) are Mount Bross, Mount
Lincoln, Mount Cameron, Mount Quandry, Mount Democrat, Mount Clinton,
Mount Arkansas, Treasure Vault Peak, and Mosquito Mountain. (Mount
Dyer is just off the left edge of this photo.) That's six peaks of

Below are several other 2018 photos from the areas where we spend some
of our time during the winters, away from Colorado's cold & snow.
(Most taken from above.)
Above: This is our favorite dry camping spot on 'Angel Point'
overlooking Lake Alamo.
Above is a view of the Wayside Oasis RV Park, Bar & Grill which
lies about 4 miles from Lake Alamo. It offers a 1000' dirt runway for
light aircraft, which fly in for breakfast or lunch regularly. There's
a separate area of abandoned ranch land, suitable for launching &
landing PPGs at the right side of this photo; (the small white dot is
my vehicle & trailer.)
Above is a view from over the Bill Williams River flowing into the
East end of Lake Alamo. There is an AZ state park on the lower half of
the lake, while the upper half of the lake is an Arizona Department Of
Fish & Game Wildlife Area. Motorized recreation is popular in this
entire area.
Above is the seldom-seen north side of Artillery Peak which dominates
the Lake Alamo skyline; the lake can be seen to the right in this
photo. The Big Sandy River (often dry) flows in on the right,
combining with the Santa Maria River (also often dry) to form the Bill
Williams River.
Above are some of the Golden Columbine flowers which grow at one of
the permanent springs in the desert in the Lake Alamo area. Also in
this photo are less obvious Bog Orchids. These typically bloom in
early April.
Above is one of the veins of copper mineralization; there are many old
mines and prospects in this area of the Senora and Mojave Deserts.
Above is a view from just over the 'three rivers' junction, looking at
the Bill Williams River flowibng into the East end of Lake Alamo.
Above is a view of the AZ state trust lands which we refer to as "The
Benches"; Once you obtain a state recreation permit, you can camp on
AZ state trust lands for up to 10 days per year. Our camp is the upper
white RV parked on the upper bench
Above is our camp site on the upper bench, where I have adequate room
to take off & land with my PPG Quad. We also have our bass boat
with us in AZ, so we can boat & fish on various lakes & the
Colorado River.
Above is the view from ovewr 'the benches' looking NNW up Lake Havasu;
Cattail Cove state park is located on the lake shoreline to the lower
right. Lake Havasu City is located about 14 miles north of this point
along Hwy 95.
This ist of the area south of the Parker Dam on the Colorado River
referred to as "the Parker Strip". Lake Havasu is backed up for close
to thirty miles above the Parker Dam.
Above is a view of the area south of Sedona where we sometimes camp,
just right of the center of this photo; there's room enough to take
off and land there with the PPG Quad. The town of Cottonwood AZ on the
Verde River is in the distance with Mingus Mountain on the skyline.
While flying the Red Rocks area around Sedona, I encountered two other
foot-launch PPG flyers flying over the Oak Creek Valley.
Above: Hot air balloon rides are very popular in the early mornings
around Sedona; this view shows two of them landing close to the area
from where I fly.

Photos below are from a flight on August 27th,
2017; the flight duration was 102 minutes covering 59 miles. This

and over Georgia Pass into Georgia Gulch before turning to fly west
into the upper French Gulch area. I flew on towards Breckenridge ,then
turned south and returned over Hoosier Pass back into South Park to
land again.

Fairplay to the Southwest, circling the Buffalo Peaks on the Arkansas
River side to te west before returning. Flight duration was 71 minutes
covering 41 miles, with a maximum altitude of 12,522 feet ASL. Smoke
haze from the many wildfires burning across the western U.S. reduces
visibility and resolution on many photos this summer; here are three
from that flight.
This is a view west from above the headwaters of
Rough And Tumbling Creek in the area just north of the Buffalo Peaks.

Ranges are to the left, while parts of Colorado's Front Range are to
the right. Lake
Dillon is in the center in the middle distance with Red Mountain's top
just to it's left and Hoosier Peak to it's right. Boreas Pass is to
the right, to the NE of this viewpoint, while Hoosier Pass is to the
SW, back to the left. I caught and circled in a good thermal in this
area which took me up to 14,629 feet ASL before I flew off to the SW
again.
