Interesting? As I mentioned, it's been a long time since I've been out that way. The last closure of the ferry I remember was after the 89 quake. I drove out there several days after the quake and the levy road was destroyed!

Good for you!

I believe the Ryer island ferry is still in operation outside Rio Vista. When I was a kid I used to take it in the fall to hunt pheasants and ducks on the island. Of course it's not like the ferry of the 1800's, but it's still a very unique operation and a fun road trip!

Spot on!....I had no idea how much of a Gestapo government California is until I moved to Idaho and experienced the actual freedoms of our Constitution. The politics of that state is a cancer and is destroying what was once a great state to grow up and raise a family in. I believe it's just a...

I fled California 20 years ago and never looked back! I see you are in Antioch....I grew up next to the Buchanan ranch on Buchanan road when the ranch was still a working cattle ranch and not destroyed by Seeno homes!

Hello Gary....I grew up in the 50's, 60's and 70's on the Delta...Holland Tract, Franks Tract, Quimby Island, Montezuma slough, Rio Vista etc....I have such wonderful "Huck Finn" memories of those muddy waters. Last time I was there was 2004. Sadly, I discovered my "hideways" were now overrun...

Your response raises my curiosity?........how long have you been able to walk on water?

Are you still talking about drones?

All good!

In my case, I'm neither a hobbyist or a pro so I don't see a need in keeping them. Like I said, it's just another ranch tool to me (that I am still weighing for value). And if or when I no longer see a value in it for my application, I'll return it. I bought it from Costco last month when they...

Yep, ol' Buckaroo has a bit of an ornery streak in him!

I never keep the logs...always zero out after landing. Guess I use my Mav a little differently than most folks. While I enjoy the flying, I view it as just another ranch tool that helps me do my chores. When it went DS, I did view that log and noted that the moment recorded loss of GPS signal. I...

I had just completed a fly over survey of my ranch and was on RTH with about 20% battery when Buck, my German Shepherd , trotted up and sat down next to me. All of the sudden...DEAD STICK (DS)...at 24' off the deck. Down came my Air like a dead sparrow. It hit hard on the snow covered ice, but...

Perhaps the consternation regarding this question lies within the age old conflict and question between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. I would suggest that the question, as posed, could be answered in either context, particularly when taking into consideration one's milieu...

Friends are always welcomed!....trespassers will be violated!
