Nick and I were the last two PG guys to punch off from the SkyPort. Climbed way back from the SkyPort, drifting with some nice lift (+ wind factor). I was trying to hold a High ground and consider my options. Nick was exploring thermal activity way in front of R&R where the power lines are (Rolling Hills?). He managed to stay in good shape and boldly headed down the wind. I was cruising at the same place, doing some fig 8 in weak lift. Than I headed down the wind after Nick.

By my opinion air was not too badly active. Worst air was above Cathedral. I had a full frontal collapse in very funky and unpredictable air. Wing fully recovered in a second. No problem at all. I guess one just have to pay (on some way) to ride that good thermal at the Cathedral.

After couple of minutes I have arrived above the West Bowl. Played there for a 10 min or so and headed to LZ where all other pilots have landed. On my way there I encountered two good thermals. Didn’t have too much time because all other guys have already packed their wings. so I headed for a landing. 1000 ft above LZ I did some wingovers and some spiral dive (Little Baby ones, nothing like Chad master). Perfect landing. Nick was waiting with Glenn. Glenn gave us a ride back to Parma. Sweet! What a day.

Thanx Glannyoooo!
