And i lived to tell about it!

It was perfect Sat. in the dunes, warm weather, good breeze, and soft smooth sand. One of those days you just didnt want to end! So there i am, riding right behind that sandsamper guy, and we are heading up some big dunes, trying to find our way to the top, Just as we come around the corner of this small ridge, it opens up into a little valley that heads up the side of this dune. Sampler swings wide to use the side of the valley for a berm, and next thing i know he kinna slows down and his left hand points to the sky. I look up, and right at the apex of the top of this valley we are headed up, there floats Mr. Redtail, not moving a wing, just sitting there riding the air current and he is looking right down at us! Sampler passed right underneath Mr. Red, and i swear slap, Mr. Red was about 20 feet at the most right over his head!!! It was an unbelievable sight. As i moved up the valley, I was looking right at Mr. Red, and he looked me right in the eye. He wasnt movin at all, he just sat there, floating on the breeze and ill tell ya, it felt to me like he was sizing me up to see if he could have me for dinner or not!!!

I passed right underneath him as well, and fortunatly for me, he didnt rip my head of my sholders, he just let me pass by without so much as a flutter of his wings against the breeze.

Sampler looped back around to try and get another glimps of him, but by the time we got back to that spot, he was gone like the wiind...

It was a moment i will never forget.

OOOHHHH SLAPPY GOTTA DANCE RIVER. Slap heard through the ripplevine that that ride was incredible; beautiful scenery and Mr. Red allowing your group to enter his house and ride his bowls. Hot damn, thanks for the update River, it is much appreciated. Sometimes that Red Headed Wannabe Falcon can make the whole day seem perfect, even if you only get a glimpse of him for a brief moment. It sounds like thats what happened to your group River, and we gotta give a big ol thanks to Mr. Red when it does happen. How sweet that must've been, how sweet it must've been.
