Another utterly fantastic lesson plan by Professor Dan Nickens. Perfect photography combined with great background material. Keep it up Dan, I love to get educated and see beautiful pictures.

Looks like unshrinked brown paper...

What a fantastic shot. If I didn't know better I would have guessed that it was taken from the space shuttle. Just how high were you?

Certainly not in league with the Shuttle, Bob. At 1500' agl it was a bit higher than normal SeaRey altitudes because there was no good emergency landing site.

Dan, did the 1500' give you enough altitude to get to a emergency landing site? Or just a little more time to think about things if something went bad?

The picture is purposefully misleading, Steve. My response to Bob was unintentionally confusing.<br /><br />If you go to Google Earth and check out the big picture around 38 deg. 58' 38.61 N and 109 deg. 45' 53.11 W (near 79-track if you overlay my Spot path) you will find a long, straight dirt road just south of the cliffs. It was an excellent emergency landing strip, or, perhaps more accurately, a survivable out.<br /><br />I work to avoid flight over terrain with no hopeful options. That reality is much less exciting than the picture's illusion. My earlier statement about 'no good emergency landing sites' was intended to reflect the options from my normal SeaRey altitude of 1000' agl or less. At 1500' I was hopeful of getting to the road.<br /><br />Sorry for the confusion (but not the illusion).
