Today is the last fair weather day in the NW for awhile. The high pressure the past week or so has resulted in a pretty thick smokey haze in the Kittitas valley. I almost stayed in the pattern and landed after I took off it was so smokey, but there were so many students in the pattern I was afraid to try to fit back in. I made the most of it with a one hour trip around the Valley.

Its about 3:30 pm. We're at 47 degrees latitude. I think the long shadows at the short strip are due to it being on a NE facing slope. Word is this guy is a model airplane flyer. The strip has been there a couple years and I have never seen an airplane real or model there.
My wife calls this road where we take our morning walks the "Morning shadows road".
