September 23 and 25th, 2006
A trip across the California/Nevada/ Idaho high desert after a long hot summer.
Ready to fly!
San Jose airport
A California wind farm
Sacramento
A Big CIty airport
A small town airport
Rich forest near Lake Tahoe
Reno!
Pyramid lake northbound
Miles and miles of Nothing on the nose
Piles of Nothing
Long vistas of Nothing
Look! More Nothing!
What in the HELL are they growing out here?
Sheer bluffs, imagine crossing these in 1870.
This river...
...has been here...
...a long time...
...and will be here when we're gone.
The ONLY cloud I saw on this trip
Green at last
Start of the Boise area
On final for 10R
National Guard A-10s
Ugly but powerful
See you again next week, Boise!
I had to take these sunrise shots....
Sunrise in the desert
Mud flats
Pryamid lake southbound
Reno Airport
Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe
Last bit of snow from last year in the high granite
Ewww, smoke layer
Thick smoke from forest fires
Airport in sight....
