Vail, CO - Seattle, WA

I am currently over Idaho at 35000 feet in an Alaska 737-900.  Planes have wifi now.  Amazing.  I am trying to listen to the live ATC feed for our flight, but can't find the correct frequency.  Currently it is tuned to the Bozeman airport, which is talking about Cessnas.  I don't think that's right.  Maybe when I tune into Seattle Center I can figure it out.

Ugly black cloud below.  Looks like a massive wildfire.  Just double-checked on the NIFC website and there are several in Idaho.  The smoke haze is blowing SE towards Colorado.  Maybe why it's so hazy there.

Anyway, this looks like a really... long... ways to pedal.



Early and nervous
