Big Bear Lake

Apple Valley airport

Stopped here for what turned out to be a few days due to weather in AZ.  We drove to Big Bear one day and Santa Monica and Hollywood area the second day

Rogers lake

Off Merced on the morning of 9 sept.   after crossing the tehachapi mountains, this view of Edwards AFB in the background and the rosamond dry lake bed under the left wing.  Traces of smoke from the yosemite rim fire were with us until Bakersfield.  We heard us called as traffic to a Uav spotter plane thru this area.

Nevada falls

...after ascending many more steps along the mist trail.   We originally though we could continue on to the top of half dome and I had even secured the required permit.  But I don't know what we were thinking.  This falls isn't even half way --and we were beat.   That's June resting on the lleft

Vernal falls...

...after ascending many steps along the mist trail.

But looking northwest...

Some smoke evident.  Wind had been pretty much out of the south, making things not to bad in yosemite valley.  But I think the wind shifted...

View from Glacier point

Not much smoke evident in this picture looking northeast
