It gave us a chance to get some wake boarding and relaxation in, but mostly, it gave us the chance to continue on a Sonora tradition [...]

At the beginning of May, Jamie and Dad M. headed back to Utah for a second round of flying around back-country airstrips, camping, and hiking.

Just a quick post. It occurred to me that I should throw up an example of a picture that Matt Beardsley took of me flying kites awhile back. For those of you in the know… I’m flying the SkyTiger, meaning that this is just about as big as I’ve ever gone with the kite… it’s nice to [...]
