US is a beautiful country. We love to visit it. There is no need to make it greater? because it already is. Europe is watching you...

BEAUTIFUL RV flying territory
I absolutely LOVE these pictures. It is what flying an RV is all about. I had the pleasure of renting a 172 from Redtail Aviation at KCNY near Canyonlands and Arches National Park in the Moab, UT area this past Spring. Like yourself we went to Lake Powell for lunch and back. It was some of the most rewarding flying I will ever do in my flying career for sure. (how about those +/-1000ft thermals in the afternoons though!?!?!)

Great pics, did a similar deal with the family this summer in the Bonanza. Overflew Grand Canyon in Dragon corridor. Some areas make you suck up seat cushion in a single engine!
WVM ssoo glad to know europe is watching, we were losing sleep over it :-0 You got some pretty stuff there too. Cliffs of Dover, Alps, French Med coast and countryside....Some cool cities too.

Wow
My wife and I usually spend a week in the Telluride area around the last week of September, which seems to be the time frame the trees are changing at that altitude / location. This year we took the scenic route back to GJT and drove to Canyonlands / Moab.
A lot of really inspiring pics here. I'm also looking through your extended log on your site. Very cool!

Flying RV over UT, COLO
In taking off from Walker Field, Grand Jct., enroute to Copperstate in C-182, yes over Canyonlands, Moab, cliffs, etc. via landing @ Page for fuel. When over the River, topography enroute to Page, I heard every spark plug hit. Told friend you couldn't land a powered parachute down there. Mistake, tightened up belts so tight ribs showed.

Wonderful photos, Bill. Lots of beauty in the southwest. I've been on the ground in most of those areas and now some by air. Looks like we have some new reasons to do more flying over Utah. There are a few backcountry strips in Utah that aren't on the sectionals, but they do show up on the Utah state aviation map. Not sure how RV friendly these strips are...
Do you have a tracing of the Spot tracks? That would be interesting to look at. I wonder how well APRS tracking would work down lower. The times I've flown over the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Canyonlands was up high enough to always get a packet received.

Shhhhhh..
..Don't share too many pictures. We don't want the secret of "the west" to get out (i.e. unlimited visibility, beautiful topography and minimal air traffic).
