Pretty sure no flying this morning:
As quickly as it filled, the beach is empty now that the fly-in is over:
We drove up to the gas station where we dumped and filled. I went for a run in the rain, dodging flash flooding:
We showered, dumped, and filled, then drove to the Glamis Sand Dunes, the largest dune field in North America:
We picked a camping location shortly before sunset:
Shabbos at the Salton Sea worked out alright. The meals I made were tolerable, and in the morning I saw a home-made hot-air balloon launch, as well as dozens of PPG flights throughout the day.
M did his first tandem flight this morning! I launched flight 129:
