Hey there,
I don't think I posted anything this month. I understand if you're frustrated. However, I was gone almost all this month on some trips. I just got back from my last trip, during which I explored my home state of Michigan. Particularly, I explored lower Michigan (the northwest regions) as well as the eastern Upper Peninsula. During this trip, the weather was grand, literally. Well, except for two or three overcast days. The northern regions of Michigan, especially the upper peninsula, most resemble other states such as Colorado & New York, except without such mountainous terrain.Believe it or not, it felt much colder on The upper peninsula's south coast versus the north coast. The number of people brave enough to take a dip in Lake Superior were an extremely small amount of people. The water was about 45-50 degrees. Believe it or not... prior to this trip, I had gotten a very brief chance to take a dip into an even colder body of water, that being the mighty, grand, Colorado River. And the place where this river was even colder than Lake Superior was, surprisingly, in Arizona! Specifically, right near Lake Powell, a really deep lake (at least 350 feet at it's deepest. More about that trip...
As a weather watcher, I noticed some amazing clouds there in Arizona. They seemed to be stationary for, at the very least, 4 hours. And the storms in Arizona had some serious thunder power to them.
Liftoff
Let's get back to the beginning, so to say. Here's the cool part: I lifted off towards Arizona at about 10:45 pm... had a window seat... on July 4, 2015... under cloudless skies. Think about that for a moment. They had large fireworks going off in numerous towns for the whole flight, which lasted four hours. The best part of the flight though, was near arrival. It was still nighttime. First I noticed the moon. It was reflecting off of some spectacular, wispy, scattered lenticular clouds. And far off in the distance the moonlight reflected off of two major lakes- one of them was giant. I think one of them was either lake Mead or Powell. The other one (the larger one) was at least 50 or so miles away by the horizon. I'm almost sure that it was Salt Lake. As I descended down towards Las Vegas, it was at least as late as midnight, with many large fireworks exploding above the city.
I didn't have much access to wifi at all, so I don't know what "newsworthy" events happened while I've been gone.
