I was thinking of getting there at 11:30 and flying by noon /1pm.

The nearest town is Bellville.

Flight report:

Spoons came out and just caught the landing.  Snow was only like 3 inches.

It was good to catch up.  We chatted for a bit as Julie and I packed up the glider.

Julie brought up the "trunk monkey" video Spoons had sent.  We laughed a  bit and got some new ideas...we need a trunk monkey hang gliding assistant.  Spoons said the monkey needs to be an inner surface wing walker.  (Did you ever see the monkey on motorcycle side car racing?)

The trunk monkey needs a turbulence control rating.  I could have used it today.  I was needing one, as I fussed with zipping in my harness I dropped a left wing hard into a dive or something as I was trying to get up on the ridge.  Fortunately the wing away from the ridge was the dropper.

When not saving your butt, the trunk monkey could attend to all the zipping, and unzipping, putting on and off the VG, defogging your visor, videoing, etc.

Overall the air was nice but somewhat textured.  The southeast facing launch was melted off.  The launching was a bit tricky judging a cycle to go in.  At some point I decided it was safer to fly away in a brief lull than stand there fighting the wind on launch.

Again, I stuck the vario in my harness pouch to avoid looking at it.  The flight was about an hour or plus?  Gains were 400 to 500 over.

So I go out to land and I'm in the mode and I had already unzipped the harness and I'm circling wide at about 700 AGL over the barn and lz and find this fat thermal...crap, it might have been fun to try a low save in warmer weather...I was done, didn't chase it becase I was cold and ready to be done.

Knowing I had lots of room to land and some turbulence was felt, I stayed far away from the power lines...I chose to land in the "Hatchet" and the wind was more south at this point.

I'd say the high temp was 35ish today so it was pretty nice for February 1.

Big thanks to Julie for coming to assist on this venture.

A bunch of people stopped at the overlook to check it out and talk.  As I flew over a person with horse and an open buggy cart pulled off at the overlook and waved up and I waved from the air.

Let's fly soon.  Hope we get a day for the Sac one of these days!
