This was the day to fly. Almost sunny and no wind. I decided to check the still active, but almost over the Adam’s Lake major wildfire aftermath. I realized on my way east that it might be impossible. NOTAM restriction specified min elevation 2134 m (7000 ft) ASL (Above Sea Level) in the fire area of radius of 20 Nm (35 km) from the fire center. I made it to just 1524 m (5000 ft) and I was already in clouds. I could not legally continue to clear the restricted zone. I turned around to try the next time. Actually the next time became the next day with the follow up video.

The flying day was very interesting with spotty terrain from broken clouds shadows and changing fall terrain colors. Of course I also checked the ever changing sandbars in the Thompson River delta by Kamloops Lake. It was very good day.
