A lot of moisture for late May in Inyokern has resulted in lower than usual cloudbase and afternoon thunderstorms. It was already overdeveloped on the Sierras when I launched. Britton BB and I decided to go east to the south end of Death Valley and back. It was getting pretty dark on return so I had extra altitude for a low pass before landing.This is a single frame from the video shot by Karen. I combined Karen and Brittons videos and posted them online https//www.youtube.com/watchvuwO91HZkWfEPhoto by: Tom Serkowski on: 6/6/2019 -
