A couple of weeks ago I flew over the Sierra's and had an interesting flight . Most of the time the plane flys over the Sierra's somewhere between Kirkwood and Yosemite, but this time the plane flew right over Folsom Lake, Coloma, Georgetown, straight along Wentworth Spring Rd and over the Rubicon. :D

Check out these pics of Loon, Spyder, Buck and Tahoe from 20,000 Ft. :eek:

No kidding.. Awesome pix. I went to the Klamath 2 weeks ago to visit my grandfather there who's fishing. The old Hwy 101 bridge washed out in the flood of 1964. The old HWY roadbed in only 40 years is trashed with vegatation, parts are only about 5 ft wide and there's a nice 12" diameter tree smack dab in the middle where bridge met the road....Mother Nature will take back everything, when we're all gone.

BTW...I fly in and out of Sac about 48 weeks out of 52 every year...and in 3 years, I've only flown over the Con like this once....but I didn't have my camera....so thanks for the shots!

Anybody have the skills / knowledge and time to draw the trail on one of those photo's and repost. Third pic down looks like a prime choice.

The last time I went to Hawaii we flew directly over the trail also, and I have some similar pics.
