A flying milestone today. I traced 282 km (175 mi) from Kamloops to the Shuswap Lake region, following the north shore before looping south through Sicamous, Salmon Arm, and Chase. After three failed attempts, the nature finally opened the door for this adventure. The eastbound leg came with harsh morning sun and sharp reflections off the water, but everything beyond that felt like a reward. The landscape was bright and green, the air calm, and the whole scene almost festive. A super fun flight.
