My wife wanted me out of the house for a few hours today so she could study for the PMP exam in peace. "Ill do anything to help" I said.
About 45 minutes later I was cruising over the tomato fields near Lodi.
South Tahoe airport looked busy so I decided to land and check it out.
I grabbed a quick ice tea and burger at the airport restaurant before heading over to Alpine County airport.
Alpine Co airport was exactly as I pictured it...desolate. The winds were calm so I figured I would check it out anyway.
I pulled off the runway and got out so I could listen to the sound of nothing; its hard to find pure silence in the bay area.
I wanted to swing by Kirkwood on my way out of the Sierras, but I settled for this big mountain instead. Pictures really dont capture the scale.
20 minutes later I decided to drop in low and slow over the delta.
Not a bad way to spend Saturday morning.
