Taking the drone for a walk.

Altair needs to keep accruing time flying the drone for her FAA part 107 certification.  We headed up Butterfield Canyon (along with many others) yesterday afternoon.  We walked 2 miles up and down the canyon and she got a bit over an hour of flying time.

It was a bit windy so the drone was low.

Dogwoods were stunning.

A little ice on the stream.

Drone.  

You know what is missing from this pic?!  Snow!  

In the 35+ years I've been coming to this canyon, I've never not seen the road packed with snow on the first day of February.  Sigh...
