Yesterday I was alerted that Tim Taylor was going to make a 1000 km
attempt out of Logan, UT today. Well it looks like he is up and
running. Should be fun to watch.

Oops... there goes the "Help" message.

A bunch of Help messages. I hope he's okay!

Looks like a nice field. And only 10 or 12 miles from the Malad City
Airport.

Seemed like an awfully early start, even for a 1000k.

Probably found some shade in the area to the North. A good idea to
move around if you send help messages. Excellent proof of concept.

Okay message an hour ago. Coordinates point to a nice field on Google
Earth.

I am sure Tim will provide an excellent write up when he has time. He
is a professor at the local University and he was able to sneak away
today during finals. This flight attempt was many days in the
making. Tim has been scouting out the weather patterns, length of day
light, flight paths, etc for a 1000KM flight in north Utah for many
years. He called this attempt on Friday, coordinated the tow and
planned on wheels up at 8am. He made a great attempt and I am
convinced he will obtain his 1000K flight in UT soon. He did comment,
via his iPhone after walking 2 miles to get a signal, that he thought
the SPOT device would send 2 HELP signals and then stop. Once he
understood that it will send the HELP signal for a long period of
time, he turned the device off.

many folks locally were watching and kicked in gear to arrange the
retrieve.

Good luck at your next attempt Tim!

Looks like a nice field, But a long walk to the bar.

Bar? In Utah?
Only a 67 mile drive from Logan.
