I made a few strategic mistakes, starting with eating too many strawberries last night. 2nd mistake was launching with my thinner gloves. But aside from that, a great day…
Thanks to Cory for recording my launch (<– click the link). Elevator to cloudbase over 6 k and fun thermalling over the valley. I flew over 3 hours, only limited by sunset. Acro pilots also had their fill.
A picture I took early in the flight…![IMG_2011](https://crestlinesoaring.org/wp-content/uploads/hm_bbpui/18017/a7r8afwxvm8x6wkmglecg07xkeje4dev.jpg)
And this glorious one about an hour before sunset. Sun reflecting on the flowing river leading to an overfilled Mystic lake…![IMG_2051](https://crestlinesoaring.org/wp-content/uploads/hm_bbpui/18017/mkaor7re141t6ooluhq6snc972pveeef.jpg)
