Summiting Hyde Mountain



I started off my week with some Mountain biking








I overnighted at the base of Hyde mountain, unable to progress further by passenger car.


I bicycle to the trailhead the next morning














I was surprised how far these balloons made it being how remote Hyde mountain is.

I was a 91W ARMY medic back in 2000 Fighting in operation Iraqi Freedom 2004 Here's an epic picture of me climbing into one of the sabers at Victory Arch I got out of the military in 2005, raced for Team Texas a bit then toured the United States by motorcycle. I would spend my days on the bike and my nights in my 8x5 cargo trailer. When I was ready to see some new terrain I would haul the entire operation down the road to the next town. In 2007 I took to the skies with skydiving, paragliding, paramotoring and hang-glider trike I started building custom FPV airplanes in 2010. I would wear specialized antennas (normally on my head so I could aim them at the airplane) and the airplane would have a camera in it and I would fly the airplane remotely seeing through the camera as if I was in the cockpit. Here's my latest contraption, dual pagoda array on DJI goggles HD video, 8 mile range @ 5.8ghz. and while I built a fair few FPV airplanes the My Twin Dream was one of my favorites.

Attack on Kendrick

 I started the weekend with a dirtbike ride around Kendrick Peak mostly looking for a good camp site. The next day I set out to summit Kendrick Peak on foot That's Kendrick Peak successfully summited (10,400 ft) I got cussed out by one of the locals! I had slept overnight in my hammock and awoke to the sound of approaching footsteps. I opened my eyes and found myself face to face with a squirrel! He was trying to climb down the tree I was sleeping in and had some choice words to say. I hopped on the mountain bike and hit the Hart Prairie loop (15.2 mi) https://www.mtbproject.com/trail/5500184/hart-prairie-loop
