Paul's trike warming up outside our hangar at Belen Alexander Airport, in New Mexico. In the background is Ladron Peak. This would be my most ambitious XC trip ever.

Collapsed Lava Tube in the Malpais
Another view of the lave tube "bridge". Supposedly, there is all sorts of lost outlaw treasure hidden in these nearly inaccessable tubes and caves out in the Malpais. I never imagined these bridges existed. I definitely want to come back and visit on foot some day.Tags: jeffsflightlog jeff_trike
- We turned north to pick up and follow the Little Colorado River for a while. The canyon is very steeply walled and runs for a hundred of miles, like some sort of maze. I head heard there was a huge mud waterfall on the Little Colorado that flows during the spring runoff. ...
