Hi All,
The 6th Annual Kolb Gathering at Monument Valley is just a month away on 16-18 May 2008.
Yes, it is "Unplanned and Unorganized", but we seem to have a good time.
Here is the link for the facilities if you need it:
http://www.gouldings.com/english/index.htm
Contest Rules:
1. Submit your photo from past Monument Valley trips to be judged here for the awards of "Best MV Kolb Photo". Three categories have been established: Scenery, Scenery with Airplane and Scenery with Kolbers. Winners will be from each category. If you attended one of our Gatherings at MV and don’t have a Kolb, you are still a Kolber.
2. Photos have to be posted in this thread as a reply.
3. Include a short description of the photo.
4. Photos have to have been taken by the submitter or with their permission.
5. You can submit more than one photo to be judged in each of the 3 categories
6. Photos have to have been taken by someone flying at MV or building a Kolb or a Kolber or a family member of a Kolber. The intent is to judge photos taken in the Monument Valley Area, not on the way there or back to where ever you started.
7. Submit photos that are at least 600 pixels wide but not more than 2000 pixels wide.
8. All photos submitted before 2400 hours, 12 May 2008 will be considered. Results of the “Monument Valley 2008 Photo Contest” will be announced on the Monument Valley Airport flightline Friday, 16 May 2008 at 1700 hours.
Rules will be strictly adhered to in order for the winners to be declared.
To get things going, here is my submission:

This is just to help stir up the blood for those going. Took these beginning of April. Sandy and I drove our daughter's car home from Salt Lake City after seeing her off to Iraq.
Not taken during fly-in. It is an amazing place from the ground. Hope to see it from a Kolb one day. Ya'll have fun and be safe.

If you look real close I think you may be able to see a Kolb way back in the
background. This is a picture taken by my wife, Karen during our first trip
there in 2004.

Morning Gang:
Is it that time already? I just got home yesterday.....................
I did a quick scan of some old photos from past flights to MV. I guess my
favorite in this bunch is the one of us all standing under the wing of Miss
P'fer while the rain and wind turn the red dust to red glue. Arizona Dave
promptly drove his BAMH up in front of Miss P'fer, inviting all of us and a
ton of red mud to seek shelter in his motor home. Dave was quite a guy, and
Eve is an angel.
Take care,

That dog that was posing for you looked like the dog that chewed thru your
tent. The doggie grin was from all the food he helped himself to.

Greetings from Minnesota.
I probably shouldn't enter the attach photos in
the contest because I didn't actually take them.
They were taken by Arty Trost at MV in 2007.
These and other pictures from last year remind me
of a magnificent place, a great time and some
really neat people.
John W, if I win the $10,000.00 first prize, I'll
share it with Arty.

List - sorry for the blank message, sent by me earlier today, this
topic.
(Been taking too many keyboard lessons from Hauck!)
The following should have accompanied the picture:

Well, I don't exactly qualify, not having been there . . . Yet, but it looks like an awe inspiring place and this is my favourite view of it.

Here are a few more photos from MV.
I have included one of the Judge, himself, flying his beautiful, sleek,
nimble and powerful Kolbra over the skies of Utah during one of our many
flights to that area of the country, hoping it may sway his decision for
best photo.
However, since the Judge has also contributed a photo, doubt any of us have
a chance at winning.

John H and All,
To keep the Contest as open as possible, I have hired the best Judges that a small amount of money can buy. Oops, I mean hire.
Although the unveiled and blatant attempt to gain favor by submitting such a beautiful photo is appreciated, my hired Judges were not swayed one way or the other.
The bar has been set very high for this Contest folks, so post your best and good luck.
(I had to use the dictionary for some of those words)

John H.,
No matter!!! Since you've been awarded the $10,000 First Prize money (in cash), and they all want to keep the
contest going, it just means you're still in the race!! Possibly another First Place. Heck, maybe several!
Mike Welch
I'm at a bit of a loss, since I haven't been to Monument Valley, yet. No, wait, I took this really nice one in National Geographic. Maybe I could find it, and send it in...hmmm?

What did you do to this yoyo to make him want to kill you on take off?
Please notice the highly observant spectators on the other side of the runway. Steven Green is the only one watching the near disastor, while Karen Cottrell and John Hauck are watching Arty Trost untangle her headset cord.
