The others that were going with us cancelled too their truck is in the shop,  so looks like we're coming solo. More than welcome to camp with us plumber, just the wife n I with our 11 year old boy we will be out there later today. 

Dude that sounds like a plan. I could set up today after work. If the wind dies down I could come tonight. If not first thing in the morning.  I have a 10 year old boy also. 

Where do you plan on camping at? 

All of my buddy's flaked on me. For one stupid reason or another. So Looks like I am going to work today.

As far as heat goes, relax. Sunday evening will be warm, with a beautiful weekend to preceed.

 

Thursday will be blinding. The rest of this weekend looks perfect.

 

We'll be out there, and wouldn't want to be anywhere else(my 4* birthday). 

 

At least it'll be dry. It's been like riding on soggy diapers since NYE. LOL 

We are going to be out friday morning. Maybe we could meet up for a ride?

Well you already said the W word so now it's definitley gonna be windy!

 

Although Dumont sometimes has a forecast of it's own, when Tecopa is calling for 33 mph winds and gusting to over 50mph you can bet on some strong winds at D. You can watch the hourly weather forecast as it gets closer and it may change, but the wind forecast is usually very accurate out there, if not worse than what they say it will be.

 

How do I bear with the wind? Sit in the toyhauler, make some food and drink plenty of this--->

 

Do you think it will let up after Thursday?

So the weather man says its gonna be really windy Thursday, and a lil windy on Friday. I hope he is lying. Does the wind usually go away or does it stay pretty windy for awhile after what the forecast says? I was planning on being there Thursday morning. So how you guys bear with the wind?

Cool vid

No. Its a Yuneec Typhoon H pro with real sense.

Using the wizard wand remote.  The top speed is said to be 43.5 mph in watch me or follow me modes.

Yeap  pretty much. You set the altitude and say watch me. Or follow me and it'll go until the batts die lol. Even then it'll land safely 

Yep it will. But you will want to catch it in the dunes. You dont want a bunch of sand in the Drone.

That's cool. Is that the follow me mode? 

 

I still wanna try that feature out! 

Its the watch me mode. The follow me mode doesnt train the camera onto the subject.  You have to control where the camera looks. I am hoping to go out this weekend and test it out, out at Stoddard or Johnson valleys.

Here is some video from out at Dumont I took with a drone. These were the first test runs.
