Yeah, well I couldn't see the damn thing, but I heard the piece of crap
snowmobile engine. But if you gotta go, you gotta go.  I always find a
spot where the Bald-o-cam can't see me. That generally involves
crawling into a wash since Bald Mountain can see plenty. Friday a damn
Beech flew nearby, er, perfectly timed.

haha hah ah a ..........  Oooops 

Chuck Clark had this project where he was documenting every stinkin'
border marker. He would get the coordinates with his GPS, and take 4
photos (N, E, W, S) . Where the cammo dudes couldn't follow him, they
sent the drone. The FBI raid may have put an end to the project.

I  think I understand  why he'd  want   to do that ....... but Chuck
revealed too much to outsiders and the press  .......  not a wise
thing to do.  if he'd kept it more  to himself  .....  I think they'd
have simply written him off as a nosy ( pesky )  desert rat ( like
they have a bunch of others )   and left him be !  just my  take
 on it  tho  ........         



earlier this year  ..... I was hang'in  in some of those  interesting
little talked about  " west side "  areas east  off  95 , me and the
ole lady .....   and shooting some guns while we were out there as
well.  ( a favorite hobby of ours  )  ........ and  we heard this
noisy little  gas prop  airplane engine what seemed off in the
distance ... it went on  and on  ....... every where we were , that
stupid irritating noise was .  it never seemed to quite  " get here "
always seemingly like some  tired old piper cub or something  similar
passing nearby  in the distance but never  actually passing or  going
away.  sometimes it would seem to pass some but then it'd  get louder
again ...  

eventually I happened to look straight up  ( nearly right into the sun
)  and " there it was " ....... just  slowly circling  ........hang'in
right over top of us !  freaked me out when I realized  " we " were
the main  object of it's  attention !!   ha ha hah aha   ( gun fire in
the right places will bring 'em like a magnet  ) 
 it seemed  surprisingly  small ( and was why I missed finding it for
so long a time )  , almost like a 1/4 scale model  ( but a little
smaller ) ........   but as noisy as all get out , tho  the engine rpm
speed wasn't " all that "  fast ..... kinda leisurely actually .....
not screaming like a regular model airplane engine does !  

another time ( later on )  I had the pleasure of the company of
another  noisy gas " visitor " ......... this one was a little larger
and  looked to be a  longer pair of  tapering wings , two  parallel
square tubes  , side by side , for the body .... and a normal ( piper
cub ) looking boxy tail.   scale still about 1/4 size or so ........
quite unusual looking     


for some time I began to think " they " changed out those little boxes
with the wires ...... this because  I  wasn't  getting any " hits "
  < wink >  but they still seemed to know  where I was all the time.
eventually it dawned  on me they had a NEW way to keep  an eye 
( literally ) on  us ...... those stupid  noisy little  drones ( uavs
).  it's interesting they seem to have gotten into those so much
....... a handy  new tool so to speak ...... originally I used to
think they were just those slick fancy  military ones you see  so much
over at Indian Springs ..... but the security contractors have
seemingly fallen in love with their own types  as well.  

sneaking and hiding (  refreshingly  alone in the outback )
is half the fun ..... those crappy  noisy little  drones  
can ruin your day in more ways than one ..... h ahaha ha ha
