Good morning Roger and welcome back. You have been greatly missed. That is a beautiful shot at Windy Point, was that taken from your new toy? It's a great shot.

The camera on your drone must be gyro stabilized cause you sure can't tell it's windy. Just an awesome video, sure gives you a different perspective.

Yea, Roger! Welcome Back! Awesome video & photo! I think whether you're riding around Windy Point, or viewing it, it is a "nail bitter." Yup, I remember.

It would be interesting to know some history of that Windy Point mountain; and how the railroad was made around it. Yup, don't look down!
