East Coast Visit

A friend's wedding brought me back to the East Coast, so I came out a few days early to spend some time with my family, and maybe fly Ellenville if the opportunity presented itself.

My first day here the forecast was good, so we headed up with hopes of flying. It was light, but the clouds looked outstanding, and Ricky Fitz was up cloud hopping, so we knew it could be done. It turned out being an absolutely outstanding day, with altitude gains of around 7500 ft over launch. It was great to fly my 'home' site, with friends and family, on such an epic day.

Loaded up, let's go fly!

Yesterday had the potential to be flyable, but it wound up being blown out. Not sure if it mellowed enough for a few antsy souls to hop off launch and live to tell the tale... instead of flying we had a nice family dinner at home, and watched a movie. Definitely good to be home... it's been a while...

We don't get this in Utah
