I am interested. It will be cold (they lowered the high to 36), but the wind forecast looks fine.

Ellis and I got there at about 12:30. Conditions were very light at launch. We both had what I call "between a sled and an extendo". Hugh arrived, launched, and had the same. Ellis decided to walk the dogs. The wind became a bit more defined ("gusting" up to 5 mph at launch), and with the extra time this allowed me in the air, I managed on my second flight find a thermal (marked by birds)that took me above the ridge. Did not last long and slowly I sunk out.

The temperature was not too bad (but it might have felt different if we managed to get high).
