Ron came by yesterday and took me flying in his flying machine. I am not sure what it is called kind of a motorized hang glider or parachute glider. Whatever it is, it was really fun. He was the pilot of course and I was just along for the ride. It has a front and back seat kind of like a motorcycle (only bigger) so I just sat behind him and he did all the work. We started out out at the roping area in Scenic and flew all over Mesquite and then kind of followed the river down to south of Bunkerville. We buzzed all the livestock on the way and even ran into Vay Mickelson who was flying his machine also. It was really fun. Ron showed me a tree in Bunkerville that he said gets blue herons in it every spring and that they nest in it and have their baby birds. Who knew!
Ron right before he got me all strapped in and we took off. He has helmets with microphones so you can talk to each other which makes it really nice. After we ran in to Vay I had Ron take me back to Scenic as I was starting to get a little nauseous. I took my meds before I left but I was just a tad bit sick and didn't want it to get worse. It was a lovely Christmas present and I really enjoyed it so much. Nice to see the community from the air. It gives you a whole different perspective
