Sneak Peak. My son Harrison honing his drone skills by flying through the arch.

Despite some issues and trouble with both my drone and Jeep, I still had a great time! Thanks for the excellent company Russ (and boys), Jeremy (and girls) and Marty!

We started at the Chimney Rock Road, turned down Buckhorn Wash and checked out the Mat Warner signature, the Buckhorn Pictograph panel, then continued on to the Lone Warrior, Swasey Cabin and then down into Eagle Canyon and the bridges over I70. We did plenty of stopping, playing and exploring along the way and once the sun started going down we found the pavement and headed home!

Russ found a GeoCache at the Mat Warner signature, so we checked it out.

Thanks Josh! I was actually having a couple issues with my Mavic, couldn't get the Active Track to work and when it did, it worked off a limited radius. I wasn't able to film nearly as much aerial footage following the vehicles as I wanted. Then later in the day I had some interference that seemed to come from handheld radios and it tried to take off after I caught it.

We'll plan another one of these trips after a big snow storm!

I tried my hand at a little video with the footage I had.

I wasn't happy with the quality or size format of my video, so I tinkered with it some more and uploaded a new version. Much better result.

I've been using the Quick app from gopro to make this vid with my tablet.

We're planning another Swell trip real soon!

Any idea on when this trip might be? I've never been to the swell. If a crew cab/short bed 2012 F150 can make it (rear locker, BFG AT's) can make it without damage, I get free gas.

You can do quite a lot with that kind of truck in the Swell. The very end of this trip is about the only part you would want to avoid (it was a narrow shelf road).

If you have a free day, drive down to I-70 and take the Temple Mtn Road exit (134?) and drive north on Buckhorn Wash Rd to Huntington. That's a great introduction to the Swell, and it does not get any easier.
