The CA scenery on that route is starting to become familiar :)

Squaw Valley and Alpine Maedows (now Palisades Tahoe):

Squaw Creek hotel

Tahoe

Northstar

Truckee Airport

Reno and Reno-Stead were next:

nice little racetrack on the way

Onto pyramid lake and finally burning man

airport already had a fair amount of parked planes for a sunday

city entrance for the cars

surprisingly the car entrance had almost no line

you can see the triage entrance, waiting lot for will call and real entrance. Short wait.

this really was surprisingly short for a sunday

I did a couple of loops around the city:

temple

city was already quite full for a sunday afternoon

Then it was time to land:

landing strip 23L

nice ramp vehicle to get a ride to the parking spot

After landing, got some help from two nice ladies to tie down the plane and tape it up:

fly ties did a great job again

plane all taped up

After the event, got dropped off by the gate with all the luggage:

lots of luggage fit in the plane

Takeoff was a bit long due to density altitude and luggage, but there was plenty of runway. Got to see pictures of the exodus:

pulsing

very long line to get there

eventually people got released on the road, but it took 8 to 12H to make it there

The city got a bit bare obviously, but still plenty of people there monday afternoon:

Eventually went on course to get back home:

reno stead

disovery bay
