This was not a relaxing flight, but very challenging and full workout exercise. I was flying about 100 km (62 mi) in a heavy turbulence with shifting winds in 180 deg direction changes. I wanted to fly to Mt Martin, which is the highest visible mountain from Kamloops on east horizon. I had to give it up because the turbulence there was too much for my taste. The country side is beautiful. I also noticed a lot of smoke far east in Shuswap Lake valley. It is the nature unfinished business of 2023 devastating wildfire there.
