High Rock Monday

Post by Spark »

Classic Rock day.

I left work early, planted my garden vegtables, then jetted to the LZ and met Steve and Skip. Arrived up top around, launched the 225 Falcon around 5pm into NW 10+ and was at 1k over launch within the first 5 minutes. Bruce and Curtis K joined us, and soon we were all airborne, thanks to launch assistance from Eddie.

I flew for a bit more than an hour and maxed out at a measly 1700' over launch, mainly because I wasn't willing to drift too far back with the fat-wing. I think the other guys were getting between 2k and 3k over. I was able to pimp off the local vulture clan several times, climbing in lift all the way out to the railroad tracks.

PG Thursday, HG Friday, PG Saturday, HG & PG Sunday, and HG on Monday. I gotta stop for a few days.
