Thanks to Cory for capturing my launch on video.
It’s easy to cross the valley upwind, when you get over 8k. My flight was 3-1/4 hours: Animation on SportsTrackLive (track starts about 2 min after my launch).
View from across the valley, over the Juniper Flats ridge at about 7k…
View from across the valley, as I start my return towards Soboba…
