Thanks for the pictures Roger. Looks like the media got some of every kind of weather!

I don't recognize the location of the first picture. Is it maybe between tanglefoot curve and cumbres pass?

Thanks for your nice comment. The 1st one is about 40 yards before Cumbres Pass, I was sitting in my camera wagon to get this shot.

You are right to much weather for the drone.

Roger just a suggestion, do you have any bright orange reflective tape you can put on your drone so you can find it if it comes down in the wrong place? I wonder if they make a homing device small enough for these units. With all of your upgrades I would imagine you have some serious bucks invested in your machine.

Good idea. We are working on a homing device and hope to start testing it in June.
