Awesome, thanks for the pics Anthony!

Who flew on Monday, how were conditions, and how did they do?

Rich H was the first to arrive perhaps before noon. Then at 1PM I arrived. Bacil came out to help and arrived 1:30. Few minutes later Steve arrived and then Bob. Anthony arrived at 2:45. At that time Bob, Steve and I drove down to the LZ to drop the vehicles and put a windsock.

Drove back to launch. Bob was the first one to launch. He had a nice launch and after the first turn flew over the launch area and the crowd cheared him. I was the 2nd one to launch. When I picked the glider up and was walking towards launch, conditions mellowed out even more and Bob pushed away from the ridge towards the LZ. I waited for approximately 10 minutes and then got up on the rock by that time Bob had landed. I launched and made a couple of passes but didn't find anything. It was light but turbulent so pushed away from the ridge. 2/3rd the way to LZ I found a bubble in which I hung around for a while and saw Steve launch and he made a few passes around launch. When I saw Steve leaving the ridge I decided to head to the LZ. Steve landed within 5 minutes of me landing. We chit chatted while breaking down the gliders and the 3 of us experienced similar turbulent conditions. Then Anthony arrived and told us Rich had decided not to fly. At 5:30 we departed the LZ. Steve, wanted to hang out at a local spot so Steve, Bob and Anthony went there and I headed back.

Conditions were good between 1 and 2PM. They became light after 3. Birds were hardly 50 feet above ridge and most were below ridge level.
