There's noth'n you can do about the weather!
The nice thing about the weather in central Washington is, even when its bad... its better then the coast. Now, this is not to say the weather has been bad, we just have not managed the epic conditions that make this place rock. Lots of high cloud, lots of quirky conditions. The eastern areas across Banks Lake have been pulling very poor forecasts, hence very little inspiration to head east and open up our triangle attempts.
I've managed some triangles, 180, 150, 100, all with challenging circumstances (and I got caught out down south toward the Beezly hills). Mia had a nice little 50 and has been caught for some out-landings. Mike, a new VR pilots has been teaching all about how to fly my VR, guess I'm going to need to buy a sailplane to keep out in front of him.
Randy also enjoyed a few local flights and finally (on his last day with us) plunged east across Banks Lake on a murky high overcast day, only to have his zipper blow out, forcing him down near Hartline (Randy's Bank Lake Crossing. )
If your interested in any of the places we are flying, you can check out our live Spot Tracks:
We also post our flights up on the OLC's:
(You will probably note several trips down to Park Lake!)
Today looks a bit iffy but I think we will try and put 3 rigid's up to see if we and do some triangle work in the Mansfield area. The next few day have some Thunderstorm activity and south winds so it looks like we will be working on our swimming strokes.... oh well, better then working!) We have another 10 days to go....
