We woke up to a clear day on the Alvord Desert:

Time to do some flying:

Flight #121:

This video has both flights from today and tomorrow’s flight:

We unloaded the motorcycles:

Oreo keeps an eye on things:

M and I went exploring:

We checked out Borax Lake:

It’s getting warm out there, we fired up the generators:

B agreed to give driving a try.  I sat behind her:

Sporting our shade tarp:

B learns fast, she went for a ride with M:

Time for a night flight:

Flight #122:

Visiting the neighbors:

After the flight, I hooked B into the harness and pushed her into the air:

We had a great day on the Alvord!

Were being hosted at the Tecopa Hot Springs Campground by PPG pilot Ryan.  We went for a flight this morning, but unfortunately my helmet camera was dead.  The scenery was beautiful, and we had a great flight:

After landing, M and I went for a ride:

We stopped by a local hot spring:

It’s really hot here just outside of Death Valley.  It was in the 90s at dawn.

We picked up this portable grill in Las Vegas.  I boiled up lunch outside since it was already approaching 115 degrees.  We had all three air conditioners plugged in, hence the group of extension cords in the photo:

I also put out an extra awning:

Oh, the humiliation:

It got up to a hazy 117 degrees today:

Good Shabbos from Tecopa Hot Springs, California!

This morning we got up early and drove out to Jean Lake:

Getting ready to fly and ride:

Nice to get back in the air after 11 months!

On the way back to Las Vegas, we checked out Seven Magic Mountains:

We hitched up the RV and headed west:

Tonight we’re overnighting at Tacopa Hot Springs Campground.  See the alternating yellow line on the trip map for today’s drive.
