Notes:
Hiked up BCMC trail. The gods must have approved as the peak cleared just as I got there! Really cold flying and a perfect cloud street right to the Upper Levels with base just above launch height. Nice thermal at highway triggered from my non-energy efficient old house! Bus driver stopped and picked me up (free) hiking back to my car - he said to thank Yaro!
Fellow Pilots flying that day:
