Drone Photos

We ventured up into the Topock Gorge last week, which was
absolutely beautiful and turned out to be a great place to fly the drone.
It's always amazing to see the scenery from the air.
Once again, she was the only SeaCraft on the river, and I'm happy
to report that she continues to perform beyond expectation.

That's a perfect boat for out there. Have you done any overnight trips on the boat?

Very nice Tony, Very very nice.
I attempted to do some drone videos of the Tsunami at my camp, but I lost control of the drone and it decided to just fly away.
That was in June im hoping some hunter will come across it in the fall deer season.In the mean time I think some drone flying lessons might be a good idea for me.

Spectacular shots, thanks

I see quite a lot of boat traffic and zero development ashore. How far from civilization are those pics?

Not yet! Haven't had a chance to finish the cabin yet, but maybe in
the spring.

Oh crap! Sorry yours went astray. Mine is fairly autonomous and really
hard to crash or lose. So far it's proven smarter than me!

This is about 20 miles upriver from Lake Havasu City, and the land is all
state recreation area, so no development is allowed.
It's nice not to see condos and McMansions dotting the shore line!

Hey Tony-
Great photos of the Colorado and your look-alike yellow Seafari. We have a large photo. we bought from a photographer at the Grand Canyon 20+ years ago. As the water is not muddy, I thought he had enhanced it some way. He claimed it ran clear at times; your water is even prettier. It looks like you have about a 4+ hour hike from Costa Mesa to you piece of paradise.
