    Fun day indeed yesterday.

    Here is a summary for predicting if it will be good to fly there: Soboba > Conditions.

    It was a day that allowed punching through the top of the inversion (around 5400′ late afternoon) and as we would go upwards through it at Billboard, the air suddenly felt cooler and drier along with a smoother climb (I saw 6400′). Going back & forth between Crestline and Pine, and dipping back down into the inverted  layer would give you a “warm embrace“.

    Suggestion… An addition under the CSS website’s history page, with the history of the area North of  the LZ with its relationship to the CSS, along with a status of what is currently allowed for CSS members (training hill, foot trail, pond occasional access). Names of do-gooders (example) can be mentioned, and evildoers names left out.

    This way, inquiring minds can be directed to it as needed, and there will be less rumors and debating.

    If Nacho isn’t a pro, he’s close.

    Only one significant item left…

    The like-new Gin Bobcat speedflying harness, as the other (more used) has sold.

    Obviously good for speed flying, but also for a paragliding school’s student on the training hill or kiting. Lightweight, robust underside fabric and with back protection.

    Price has been reduced for an easy sale.

    Keep up the good work Jana.

    You are another example of someone related to a school, but doing an overwhelming amount of good for the site.

    Maybe it was one of those “bullet thermals“.

    Suggestion: Paint/tape over the next one in a sky-camouflaged blue color, so it does not stand out so much as a target.

    The gophers were listening during the recent Blaster Training and are building stronger bunkers.

    Very impressive Len !  This will go a long way towards securing and embellishing the LZ area.

    Good timing…
