Pinnacle Peak, Arizona

[HiloHawaiian]

I use Pinnacle Peak to find my way home, it's 5 miles south of the house -- a really unique peak from all the rest. So, I thought I'd fly up there...but... You can't get anywhere near it because it's a gated community for bazillionares. Look at the castles around the golf course. I found a dirt road, getting me much closer, flew my XSP 1.3 miles each way to the peak. I stayed up at 1200' a bit too far away from the mountains unintentionally, I was so into the shoot I didn't notice until I heard a small plane and came down at warp 10... I gotta watch that...

Very nice. I've actually appraised houses in that area. Drove by it a gazillion times too.

 

[HiloHawaiian]

Excellent

Thanks, that’s actually 5 days of flights since my window is only 30 min or so before sundown. I’m trying to do as much as I can before the spring snake egg hatch. Then, I’ll be flying from inside my car like rkyleh...

They generally strike about six inches high or higher so your toes might be alright. Did i tell you I hold the unofficial record for the standing broad jump.
a Mojave green buzzed in a bush i was standing by. That's not good for an old mans heart either.

That was fantastic footage. I went to grad school in Glendale in 1965 and the old steak house was on a dirt road and way out of town. How things have changed.

TY, I’ve read the the greater Phoenix area is in the top 3 in terms of growth, but it’s truly astonishing — so many folks fleeing the chaos and incredible expense of California. Especially on the western Glendale/Peoria/Suprise side of the valley. Home construction is everywhere, it makes me wonder where the water will come from...
