Cold morning start !

Frosty this morning ice on the tents , we are east of Fallon air Navy base and the jets are flying high over us at night and in the morning , practicing for the heal thing, the machine never stops. Peachly and i break camp dry our gear out best as possible , he heads towards Las vegas and i head towards Virgina city to see my buddy Dan E. I follow the road west past fallon and see planes taking off from the base here and cruising skywards east and south chasing each other , so cool , every kids dream i guess, is to fly one or fly in one ! I get into virgina city mid afternon contact dan and go for beers with him in Carson city just down the road. Virgina city is an old western town being rebuilt and Dan my friend is part of this , he has and is rebuilding these old buildings quite amazing really some are over 150 yrs old . The next few days are spent fixing and cleaning the bike reading my books and paragling , riding the bike around Lake Tao. We did manage to scoop an ride one morning in a 1940 CB amphibian Navy plane. Dan 's freind has restored it and we head out over from Carson city too California to Lake Tao . We practice touch downs on the lake and fly the whole circumfrence of the lake , sweet their are so few of these flying in the world right now, part of history. Back at the airport in Carson we look into many of the hangers . their is a real collection of old jets and prop planes being restored and flown her by retired millionaires... must be nice !
