Interesting flight at Dog Mt (south side boat ramp field landing) yesterday.
Pics & video
Had a 2.5 hours flight (from 2:30 to 5 pm) at Dog Mt yesterday. Got up to 3K and counted 5 hangs and 4 pgs flying between noon to 5pm. Thermals over back bowl was good. I got bored after 2 hrs and decided to head to Elk, leaving Dog with 800 ft above launch so plenty of altitude. The flag from LZ indicated SW winds (not good for Elk) so I didn't expect anything good there. Turns out I was sinking like a rock upon arrival at Elk, so I quickly returned to Dog LZ. Also, had noticed a long line of new trees growing by the onshore line at Dog LZ, so instinctively thought it'd be safer landing on the big field on the south side next to the boat ramp. I've been to that field a bunch of times and always wondered how landing would be like there, now I know. I do believe I made the right call on my landing. You can view the rest from the video.

As usual, you set the bar (and down tubes?) high. Nice recovery after your discovery at the LZ.
