Day 482: Rain in Las Vegas

This morning I went up for a flight (solo flight #9, I think).  The wind was mild and kept changing directions, but after moving the wing a couple times I was able to launch on the first attempt.  It was too bumpy for my liking up there, so I came down after 5 minutes of flying.  Here I am getting ready to land, the RV is in the center of the frame:

During homeschool, it started to rain a bit.  We toyed with the idea of moving the RV out of the dry lake bed, but the forecast called for scattered showers, so we were confident that the lake wouldn’t flood with runoff from the surrounding hills.  By this evening, it looked like 50% of the lake surface is covered by puddles, with the other half being gooey mud.  It will be interesting to see how long it takes to dry.  We have enough water for about 10 days, so we don’t have to leave any time soon.

  1. I love that your measures for moving are “Do we have enough fresh water in the tank?” and “Will the rain water runoff flood us out?” Meanwhile the midnight doggie and rooster choir of Sayulita, Mexico reminds me how glad I am to have brought a goodly supply of earplugs. Good times! Don’t you miss the office? No? Me neither.
