Flight of 4 to Tuxedni Bay

On Sunday, I flew down to Tuxedni Bay with Paul, Heather, Don, and Jody in 4 planes: Super Cub, Family Cruiser, Champ, and Citabria. I made my first landing on a beach (with alot of coaching from Paul and Don). On the way down, I even saw a walrus at the mouth of the Drift River.

Lake Tahoe

On thursday, I flew to Lake Tahoe (via Reno) to present a paper at the California-Nevada Chapter of the American Fisheries Society. I took a few pictures of the lake as I drove to and from the meeting. I even had a Prius as a rental car.

When I got home, there was about 5 inches of new snow. Here is a movie I made of me shoveling snow. I have a new controller for my camera to do time lapse photography. This is my first attempt and I can see a few things I need to do differently.
