Once again I was fortunate enough to be able to accompany the UW team on their yearly excursion down to the Black Rock desert in Nevada this April. My dad was also able to come along after hearing all the stories, and explore this landscape, so different from the Pacific Northwest.
One evening, we had a chance to drive to the north end of the desert and visit the Soldier Meadows hot springs.
After the obligatory safety briefings…
There were a number of launches…
And of course, some failures…
Some good motorcycle riding…
Drone flying…
And overall a lot of fun.
And, on my way back, I took a bit of a detour on the way home through eastern Washington to spend a day back at a spot along the Columbia River where I learned to climb. Great to visit again.
