So, what was supposed to be a six hour trip to San Francisco became over ten hours when our plane was delayed approximately four hours while sitting in line to de-ice the plane. Apparently the plane in front of us just wouldn't de-ice for anything. The runways were clear, but they were severely short of de-icing crews for United. It was not pretty... I should have arrived in San Francisco approximately 11ish in the morning, but it was 4pm before I left the airport with my rental car and on the way. But, between naps when I could grab them, I did take a few pics out the window of the plane to some really pretty mountains--I assume they are respectively the Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas, although I really avoided knowing what time everything was on the plane, and couldn't tell you which ones they were! The bottom is a picture of the de-icer as she sprayed steaming hot pinkish goo to de-ice the plane...
