2ToFly.com - US Tour 2009 - Day 13

An average forecast at Woodrat indicated 2100m base and winds from the SW again.

This time we stay at Woodrat where locals Rick and Hayden Glatte join us for the day.

We were not going to fly 100km here but today was definitely going to be technical and a test of our skills. I have been trying to get to Grants Pass and never yet made it, this might be the day.

Lindsay - 48km out and return

Paul - 42km out and return

Phil - 32km height 4110m

Toni - 17km

Rod - 15km

Conrad - 51km out and return

Brian - 51km out and return

As expected a technical day, Grants Pass and back for most of us. Excellent flying in what was originally a meagre looking day.

Goal is the Longswords LZ, a winery that give a free glass of wine id you land at their shop. Paul and Conrad enjoy the free fare then Barb and Phil bought a couple of bottles and start a session which needs a cold swim to settle down

Joy and Conrad prepare lasagne for supper and we enjoy a balmy summer evening at Murdochville
