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:

M’s pilot flew inland and left me behind, but we photographed each other on the way back:

This video contains some of the flying and motorcycling from this trip:

Later in the day we explored trails on the south side of S-22:

We visited a number of Palm caches:

Our ride took us by the Pumpkin Patch’s concretions:

A storm moved in this afternoon, so no more flying today:
