2018/08/26 IFR-like Flight to Burning Man and Back

On the flight up, we happened to fly by the Delta where we had ephemerisle a few weeks prior



By the time we go to pyramid lake, the visibility was pretty terrible due to fires in the area and if I weren't for GPS, I wouldn't have gotten to Burning Man. It was very hard to see even when I got there. It took several passes until I was finally able to find the runway and keep it in view long enough to get aligned with it



once on the ground you could see, but in the air, not so much

The flight back was slightly nicer. The plane was packed with luggage we had to bring back. It was monday by then, so many people had left already:
