Our map tells us we are over

looking for the lake. thinking per-

the skipper writes a note: "A hell

Off again at so o'clock and head

clouds, rough ground, no Vegeta ton
and no sign of life.
In the distance all around us we
are surrounded by high mountains
After 20 minutes flying we see it
raining to the right of us, a sort of
white shaft coming down from the
black clouds. Straight ahead we
find we're running into such a zone
ourselves. Then our faces begin to
feel as If some one were sticking
needles into the skin-the rain comes
down heavy, our goggles become
covered and the wings are wet. The
valley ahead is opaque; we cannot
see a thing. Well never get any,

flying in the rain and fog lasts about
Is minutes, after which we emerge
into a clear area. We look back into
the black clouds, driving rain and
fog and shudder at the ghastly sight
presented.
The compass course on the map
calls for a direct air line into Reno
over the mountains. The boys do
not follow this, so we start q de-
tour, going north, where there is an
opening that looks much better than
trying to scale the rocky points
ahead with our crate" which can
not get foot higher than $4,000 feet
We found the opening and it was
wide enough for the wings to
squeeze through, and the bottom of
the fuselage was not more than %
feet above the rocky ridge. We
turn as we go through and fly south
again to the point where we should
have crossed over. Instead of see
ing a sloping range as we went
through the pass, this mountain
dropped like precipice thousands
of feet below. We hung close to
its snow-covered summit, just about
100 feet from the side, while to the
right the broad valley, almost bot
tomless, spread out. We approach
the place the plane should have
crossed, and even though we are
right under the clouds we carnot
see the summit. So we turn over
the valley, finding 1t fairly clear,
although to the south it is raining

spots another opening. AS we 20
