Those are nice pictures Don! What are the "spots" in the lake?

[kitfox2009]

Hi John
They are concentrated mineral deposits. They change colors throughout the year. Google Spotted Lake. Quite interesting.
The Rogers Pass pic was actually at 9500. I have some quite neat pics of glaciers from the same trip. Was returning from a flyin at Fairmont Hot Springs. Had about 50 aircraft from as far away as Saskatoon and Vancouver Island.

I had the privilege of flying a mission for an environmental organisation called "The Bateleurs" a few days ago.
We volunteer our time and aircraft for use in the conservation of our environment.
This time it was for a survey into the habitat and further conservation measures of the Riverine Rabbit https://www.ewt.org.za/DCP/dcp.html?...FeYp0wodc08EdQ which is an evolutionary distinct and severely threatened species. There are an estimated 500 left living globally.
Beautiful flying in the semi-desert, with superb hospitality from the team!

What a wonderful job they are doing!!!!

I looked at the flight report, and wow! what a high price for fuel. JImChuk

[Rooster]

Yup, Jim.
South Africa has a lot of taxes on their fuel price......

It is just over a dollar a litre.
$ 4.38 per US Gallon?
Still, I think the Franklin116 Hp performed very well to do 11 hours on 202 litres. 18.4 litres per hour - 4.8 Gal/hour
