Chehalem was very lively today. I took off about 12:30, later joined by paragliders Andrew, Mark, Dave and Alan. The wind wasn't strong, but the lift and sink were. I had punchy thermals up to 4k, and periods when I almost sank out. A thickening layer of
overcast moved in above the cumulus, but there was still plenty of good lift to be found. 2.5 hours of mostly fun, and a serious workout for the old shoulders.
Thank you Dave for the ride back up. Thank you Alan for the photo.
