One of my favorites taken by John Williamson at Larry Cottrell's Rock House,
landing to the south, downhill, on the departure end of the airstrip.

Wonder why?
Sometimes it acts like a bush plane, especially in the bush.
Here's one of the Kolb Camp, Alvord Desert, 2005, in front of the Steens
Mountain. This was the first get together of the Rock House Gang, a year
prior to there being a Rock House in the family. Larry gave us GPS
coordinates to meet on the Alvord. Gary Haley, John Williamson, and I flew
from Texas and Alabama for our first camp out on the Alvord. We had a great
time with Larry, Karen, and Roger Hankins. Nice looking group of Kolbs, and
a damn fine looking camp. I was hooked on the Alvord immediately. I have
visited the Alvord six times since 2005. Will be in the Alvord again in a
few weeks. I love it. Not many people. 
The second photo was a mandatory pit stop in a dry river bed southwest of
Baker, CA, on the return flight home from the Alvord, 2005. As a
precaution, prior to takeoff, I dug out the sand from the front of the main
gear. It was much deeper than I anticipated, but the 800X6 Airtracs did a
good job of getting me in and out. Would not land there normally, but this
was a semi-emergency. I had flown from near Santa Clarita, CA, non-stop
with a full load of coffee.

Same one as your avatar. Even cooler when so much larger. Imagine that painted on the front of a hanger door!

I could sit here and look at hundreds of those pictures... John Bickman put it well when he titled his blog " Living the Dream ". Flying a Kolb around the country with a bunch of other guys every summer, life does not get any better than that. Taking your Trailer and ATV and touring the west has to come in a close second !

Yep, we have a good time when we get together.
We sure miss the many Kolbers we have lost over the last few years.
Hopefully, more will come along and take their place.
About the only time I fly now days, is my flight West in May, John B's Nauga
Fly Around, and maybe Lakeland for Sun and Fun. I don't do much local
flying any more. Have other hobbies and chores to keep me busy.
I do like to travel and hope to see as many Kolb folks as I can on this next
trip West.
Here's a couple photos of Homer Kolb flying his 1985 Firestar Oshkosh Grand
Champion Ultralight at his farm, 15 June 2007.
