I know this is not my first post of a flight along the Virgin River but this one is for back seater Derrick. Derrick is waiting on his new trike and hasn't had a fix in months. So we went skimming for a bit.

    Well done, Rick! I love this video! Beautiful is your game of trike shadows, low licking of creek with a lot of wild animals and birds... Thumb up!

  • Ken

    Looks like a fun flight! Did you start at Mesquite? I haven't met Derrik yet, what trike is he ordering?

  • Rick D

    Hey Ken, yes we took off from Mesquite and went maybe 10 miles or so south of Bunkerville, keeping a close eye and ear out for protesters mistaking us for Federal agents and taking pot shots at us. :)

    We tried to get the cattle back on the right side of the river so they wouldn't be arrested but they just don't listen.

    Derrick has ordered a Navajo trike kit from Northwing, maybe the first one. It will be interesting to see how things turn out.

    Thank you Jozinko and Ken for your comments!
