The guys are flying: Ray and Paul got good long thermal flights, and Reaper and Suicide went tandem but it was a short one, straight to the LZ in ears for some reason, and they got dragged around a bit afterwards. Bob says it's a lot windier than they expected for an inland mountain thermal site. Bob is not flying yet - he doesn't want to push things with his foot. But he was on his way to pick up a wide variety of adult beverages for the guys. Sounds like they'll all be good and pickled by the time Don and I get there on Saturday morning.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249789335111913420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20110414.post-1148491352526402922006-05-24T07:22:00.000-10:002006-05-24T07:22:00.000-10:00First report from Ray, after seeing some guys fly ...First report from Ray, after seeing some guys fly some sledders in drizzly overcast conditions: there are trees EVERYWHERE, and they're really, REALLY tall.<BR/><BR/>First report from Bob, in the evening as the temperature was dropping into the 50s: bring extra fleeces and a raincoat!Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249789335111913420noreply@blogger.com
