John & I arrived at launch at 1:15, just as the sky was starting to OD. Cycles were strong, I launched first and scratched to the top of the spine. After John joined me, we quickly climbed to cloud base at 4k.Cloud suck was almost unavoidable,as the mountains now had completely OD'ed. Left the white room at 4700' on glide to Nordhoff. Half way out, found more lift under a cu that gave me a chance to make it home. Ended up over Mira Monte school with a bunch of kids on the play ground yelling for my attention,so I landed in a field just east of the school. 30 or more kids had lined up at the fence, I told them at the count of 3, yell HI JOHN as I held the ptt. John heard it loud & clear, & followed with a good laugh. John landed NHS shortly after. The best part of flying the nuthouse is the easy retrive.
