Stress Release
Slipping over the Altamont south of Mt Diablo - I make my escape
at this point I have no idea where I'm headed
I-680 going south from Walnut Creek
Hwy 24 through Orinda
Briones and San Pablo reserviors
San Rafael Bridge
Alcatraz and the Oakland Bay Bridge
The Golden Gate
Lousy zoom on my cheap digital camera - time for an upgrade
Presidio, Golden Gate Park, Sunset District and Ocean Beach
Looking at the ocean from Bodega Bay
Lampson Field at Clear Lake
I had no plans to go here, just looked down and decided to land and
check it out
then I smelled the hamburgers and one thing led to another....
Departing Lampson Field over north end of Clear Lake
Headed south over the neck of Clear Lake
There was a yellow J3 on floats down there but looks like I didn't get
it in the picture
Coming over the north end of Lake Berryessa now by Putah Creek
Islands off of Spanish Flats resort
Turning towards the damn
Not too many boaters in March, just the diehards
Back near home now. Anyone who lives in this area knows Mt Diablo
It's not that big (3800 ft) but if it's at all clear you can see it
from just about anywhere in central Cal
we don't need no stinkin' maps or gps on days like this
So ends another wasted day tooling around the sky with no good purpose
or reason
notice the anguished guilt evident in my face
