Hi Scott, Thanks for the trip! I enjoyed it! I just wish I could have been there too.
It looked like you recovered the first flight here: 34°29'19" N 116°49'12" W. Apparently this was the spot: 34°47'4" N 117°7'41" W. I didn't see the point on APRS.FI but I did see it on APRSIS32. Next flight I will have to create a log file. I watched the flight that ended up east of Barstow: 34°56'55" N 116°25'55" W. About the point you parked and hiked, I went to bed and was hoping you might go for recovery in the AM. When I saw your return time, I figured you recovered it. Late night out! By the, you did not send enough beacons for us armchairs chasers!!!!! ;) I was reminded of when I lived in Barstow. It was back in the 60s and we lived there 2-3 years. I also remembered the Mojave Rattlesnake. My father caught one and we took it to the San Diego zoo. Funny thing, when I lived in Salt Lake City, friends and family here in the east were afraid we would be bit by a rattlesnake. In the 12 years I lived there, I only saw one in the wild and it was up on the bench in among the homes there. And, we camped, hiked, etc a lot, too. I like snakes. I am looking forward to reading your blog update! I hope you have pictures of the terrain you decided to walk across. I did the hard-core trails in Moab UT and was wondering what you were up against.
