Gaggle of Migratory Fowl over Cloud Peak, 12 March, 2008

The really thick gaggle is directly above the peak. Taken from the 750 launch.

Marshall, 12 March, 2008

The day started out with a thick layer of clouds way high overhead streaming out of the north, and wind trickling north at Crestline. At the LZ and at the 750 it was basically no wind all morning. The windsock at Marshall, viewed through field glasses, showed no sustained trend in any direction.

We did three rounds of Falcons off the 750, with only puffs of lift here and there on the way to the LZ.
