Good day! Allan, Mark and I flew. Conditions were “early spring” with solid ridge lift mixed in with thermals loaded with angry air. With the help of Allan and Mark, I launched at 2:54pm and was in the air for 1hr 56min. My plan was to fly up to Signal Knob and then south to Waonaze Peak. Had two significant climbs above 5K MSL during the trip. The first boomer to 5,400 ft started ~18 min into the flight a quarter of a mile south of the Strasburg reservoir (images 3 and 4) and the second to 5,200 ft was found ~1:15 later on the way back from Waonaze (image 9). Landed at 4:50 followed by Allan and then Mark. BTW: Mark nailed his solo launch and no-stepper landing! Attached are 10 ordered images.
