Three months after the fires, I finally took a break from work, disaster management, and re-establishing domestic infrastructure. I flew up the Owens Valley to Lone Pine, and and spent last weekend walking in the desert, biking in the foothills, and gazing at the stars.

Yesterday my schedule and the weather suited a return to gliding for the first time since the fires. I did four flights - the second was a checkout in a new type (the Grob 103), and the third a little soaring trip in the Schweizer 1-26. The first and fourth were just commuting in the Cessna 172.

When you get up early and bike to the airport to go on a weekend trip, this is not what you want to find when you get to the plane.
