We arrived at the "the rock", which is the normal meeting place, at 11:30, and the sky was looking great. Being a visitor to the site, there was a 7 page waiver to fill out, complete with a paragraph to copy saying the usual stuff about danger and death. Then there was the figuring out who was going to ride with who to the top of the hill, loading up for the 15 minute ride to the top, then the site briefing, complete with hiking to the north, south, east and west launches.

Great story, Doug. I'm sure you will make up for that flight with a long one someday soon - please keep us posted. Is Baldy close to where you're living now or is it a ways off?
Hehe, that sounds like the same cold front that caught me after a few days of hiking in Glacier NP, and then kep dogging me all the way to Denver. Didn't get wet once though, the showers were always just a few miles away!
Great story!
