Redding Helicopter Ride

Brian and Kristin gave Jenny a gift certificate towards a helicopter ride along the Sacrmento River for her latest birthday. We were able to take the wonderful flight this morning. The flight lasted about one-half hour and was exhilarating. I got to take a few pictures while in the air of the Sacramento River, Sundial Bridge, a few homes along the river bank, Keswick and Lake Shasta Dams.

The structure anchoring the cables is actually hollow. What an engineering feat!
