More Local Fun

After bailing on a series of successively less grandiose (uncharted Nevada XC adventure, no, how about Wolf/Sweetwater for a couple of days, no, maybe an overnighter to McLure....)plans for the weekend, I ended up at Ed Levin Saturday. The blips were actually pretty lousy( no lapse rate), but the wind was expected to be moderately strong from SW. Karl, Doug H., Alan and myself drove up, launched pretty early (11:30?), ended up having a blast. Flew for just a bit over an hour, but had several low-ish saves, one from ~400 agl and back up to 3K. Conditions were just about perfect for my skill level, clearly soarable, but challenging enough to make it feel like an accomplishment. And the drivetime/ fly time ratio was right. Couldn't ask for more.
