Daniel's again!

Post by Flying Lobster »

Thursday is looking to be yet another springtime day at Daniels! Its been soarable every time I've been there this trip--even with no ridge lift.

Anyone wanna come out and have fun?

Met Pete Schumann in the lz and went up--things were REALLY lookin bad this time--valley inversion and switchy cross-puffs of 1-3 mph and that was it.

I managed to run off full steam with the paraglider twice--first getting 11 minutes, then 16. Third time was the charm--finally managed to get up comfortably in difficult thermals. Lazslo also had two nice flights, and Pete, who waited a bit too long, fought it valiantly down in the weeds--much as Randy Webber did the other day.

What a fun visit its been!
