On the spur of the moment this morning, we decided to take a fly around (the weather has been lousy for the last two weeks and supposed to be bad again starting tomorrow). It was certainly a beautiful day to be in the air, very smooth and cold enough for great performance up to 11k. Surprising to me that I heard a total of only 3 airplanes on the radio for the entire hour aloft. Here are a few photos from the flight over Lake Tahoe area. We've had about 5-7 feet of snow there over the last couple weeks. Apologies for the less-than-stellar quality, as these were taken with Julia's iPhone (didn't have the camera since the flight was not a planned one).
Happy holidays,
Greg
Stampede Reservoir, almost full from the recent rain/snow
West shore of Lake Tahoe
Fluffy clouds over the lake
A bit of the bottom of Diamond Peak ski area (most of it is under the clouds)
Mt. Rose, just southwest of Reno
