ya flying into phoenix sunday it was a crappy ride, we got in about noon and
had a nice 80 degree x-wind at 15 kts with wind sheer alerts.
combination of that 90 degree temp making thermals, the wind whipping off the
rough terrain will do it every time.

looks like you had a good time, I flew into falcon field sunday and

not as much to see on the route between vegas and phoenix.


We made the reverse trip on Saturday, from DVT up to 0L9 (Echo Bay). I'd
never been to Lake Mead before and it was a very interesting trip. Our
return was via the Grand Canyon corridors and a stop in Williams. Nice day,
but a little hazy* and bumpy in the afternoon - too early in the season for
the thermals to be so active.

* only by Western standards - visibility maybe 75 NM instead of the
usual 100+ :-)
