August 23-24, 2014
Previous Page
An eventful weekend of fun! On Saturday morning, we flew over to check out the Burning Man setup of Black Rock
City (the event opens on Sunday). It's a quick 45 min flight from Truckee and very beautiful...
Logan made a really cool video, that you should check out here!
After that, we did some house projects, and in the afternoon got back in the plane and flew over to Chico to
watch Ben's band (The Lolos) perform - it was a really awesome event! We got to have a beer with the band
before their performance at The Bear, too :) On Sunday we lazed around Chico before going home.
