Highland Saturday

Post by stevek »

Nice day at Highland. Quite a few people given the high wind prediction on some weather sites -- turned out to be less than 10. Lift to 4k and a lot of areas of just generally buoyant air. Also, large areas of sink. Really really great burgers afterwards.

The flying was great and the burgers were awesome. Adam pointed out a problem with my harness that I didn't even know that I had and Sonny attached a handle to my drought 'chute and adjusted my harness on Sunday when it was windy. This place is great and the people are even better. I wish that I lived 4 or 5 hours closer.

I had a great weekend camping at Highland with my family. This was my first flight of the season at Highland and I hope it sets the tone for the rest of the season. I got a little over two hours soaring in everything from light to strong lift, super fun conditions. Looking forward to a lot more of that.
