Few of us launched at Marshall just before 2 thinking that maybe the day would allow a trip to the dam. There was some struggling at Arrowhead – I was forced to warm up to the idea that I should be looking for LZ options in front (as was Jérôme) – but luck allowed some recoveries and Jérôme and I ended up getting a 25 mile distance flight out of it (I was on my trusty Symphonia – EN-A, and Jérôme on his Buzz Z6 – EN-B). My second XC flight attempt.

Landed in a nice field at approximately 5200 MSL at the foot of Little San Gorgonio Peak. Field even had a “25” sign right next to it to commemorate the flight 😁.

Heard the site conditions back at Marshall were good the rest of the afternoon. Also saw the XC League in the air on our way to launch and saw many of them pushing out both West and East. Not sure where they all ended up. I thought the conditions were much more challenging than last week’s stretch of epic days but turned out well in the end.

Many thanks to Ladi for the retrieve.
