Did 5 or 6 fly-byes here looking at it for big rocks and logs then committed. It was fun. Its part of the dry lake bed thats now grown over so I was very confident in the fact it was going to be smoooooth. I was more concerned with the idea that it could be soft as it was so green. Ended up doing a light touchdown and some serious mowing and then came back around and committed to it. It was dry as bone.<br \/>\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.backcountrypilot.org\/images\/photos\/1129\/3144\/1f91563a8ec5e3826c3f9007.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p>MT Prop getting a good test today mowing grass<br \/>\n<img src=\"https:\/\/www.backcountrypilot.org\/images\/photos\/1129\/3144\/bf740e162d9a9e11db6039d2.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p>New spot on the lake.
