There's an outside chance I could participate. Stars have to be in
alignment at work... - Hugh

It was easily soarable, strong at times, and predominately very smooth. I
launched at 3 and headed North, Steve Kinsley observed and launched soon
after. I was very conservative with altitude and made slow progress at 8-13
over, rarely finding thermals and with a few manageable penetration
episodes. I met Steve at the point at around 4:15 and we flew near the
ridge's end for a few minutes, and then Steve suggested that we exercise our
best-case day's option and X-C the day and call on Joe Schad.
We had many fields to choose from as we made slow progress getting out.
Steve crossed to West of the river and bridge road, I finished this my first
X-C on the East side in the big field by the new log house.
Joe, paint-speckled from respectable and gainful work but nonetheless
exceptionally gracious, picked us up and took us home for Sam Adams,
Doritos, and Zelda's wonderful turkey pot pie, then he drove us to the
primary LZ.
We came upon Adam and Hubble as they were breaking down. They had arrived
soon after Steve launched and they also had good flights.
Thank you, Steve, for your observations, formal and otherwise, and Joe and
Zelda for your gracious hospitality.
