That was sooo sweet! 3500 over. Blowin' just right. Hang 2s Wesley and Hubble did good. Guest appearance by JR. Plus Adam, John Mac and Gary Smith. Gorgeous day. Lotsa hawks and one bald.

I saw three balds and flew intimately with one of them, although I think I made him/her nervous. It started off a bit strong and windy, but got better as the day progressed. Got to 5400' msl in a "poosh-out" (5.0 ) thermal later in the afternoon drifting behind the main ridge with Steve K. and Homer. Ended up flying out front to Woodstock/Rt 11 before boating/floating over the valley and then landing after 1.5 hours. A great way to spend a Monday, especially for someone who only gets to Woodstock once or twice a year.
