I made a trip to the Alvord to see if it was clogged with Californians to view the Solar eclipse tomorrow. Our Hwy (Hwy 95) has been clogged with cars for about a week. Normally in a 5 mile trip to the closest town you might see 10 cars, this last week has been strings as much as a mile long coming from Ca. heading to the path in Oregon and Idaho. The phenomenon has been on Fox news quite a bit here this last week. While the Alvord is not in the path of totality, its pretty close.

I first checked "winds aloft" and found that at 6000 feet there was supposed to be a 14 mph wind from the NNW, and since I am SSE from there I knew that I would be better off at low levels. I can pick up about 4 MPH by flying in "ground effects", so I dropped down to the tops of the Sage and started out. 

I've got a bit left to do before our fly-in so I decided to clear the carbon from the HKS and set it to maximum cruise of 5800 RPM's. I flew for an hour and 24 minutes, a total of 84.5 miles and four gallons of fuel.

If you want to change quality of the video click on the "gear" and set your download speed to what you want to see. It is recorded at 1080 P, so the quality is there if you have the speed.

Outstanding video, Larry! I love low level flying. I don't get to do that much up here in Michigan because of the trees. I fly a 377 Rotax so my low level trust factor is not like it was over the deserts of SoCal. Would love an HKS.

Thanks for another great video. George

Absolutely beautiful country and video.  Thanks again Larry for sharing.  I just wish I had a wife who was as willing to live away from the populated areas as yours is.  Its not that I dislike people, I just dislike most of them.

Thanks for another great video. Watching your flights seems to be the only flying I have been able to do lately.

We were in Oregon a couple weeks ago,  Smoke from Portland to Crater lake and most of the way back to North Dakota. 

The whole state was on fire or something, in the afternoon you could not see the far side of Crater Lake for the smoke. We stayed at Diamond lake, the plume of smoke rising from just beyond the lake looked like an erupting volcano.

Yeah, its been a bit rough this year. Things will begin to get better the closer we get to Sept. Just in case you make the trip again, try for Sept and Oct. Those are the best months for the Coast as well as the interior.



Thanks for the comments.

Larry
