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
