Musings

Altitudinal notes

We’re overly weather-aware these days. Another one of those river storm systems is threatening northern Cali, which is where we have been heading toward. Rrrr. So, we’re sensitive to storm-like deposits and have been checking out the snow at higher elevations.

And noting our own altitude.

And seeing that high winds have derailed semis.

Although, we also notice that the arid landscape is greening. The magic of spring….

This is the view passengers in low-slung vehicles now have of Hoover Dam. Note that these barriers are higher than the ones in GooStreetView.

Passing west of Vegas, we spotted more snow-capped peaks, and green in the vegetation.

Another stupendous sunset, so very wide and dominant.
