2ToFly.com - US Tour 2009 - Day 9

Another promising Pine day. A more SW forecast may push as a way from the I20 and up into the hills near

Paulina. Base is predicted at 4000m+ so we talk a little about hypoxia

Lindsay - 120 km - PB open height 4,200m, PB 2 * 100km flights in a row

Paul - 120km - PB height 4620m (hypoxic happy)

Phil - 32km PB height 4110m

Toni - 99km (after a reflight) PB, 4110m PB

Rod - 20km

Conrad - LZ

Brian - 120km

Weather

W/SW, 10-15kmh

Base 4600m, blue

Lindsay, Paul and I fly past Paulina to the edge of the higher hills - at 6:00pm we decide to land washing off 2000m as the terrain is getting difficult. Toni joins us much later after a relaunch and a great flight.

Another long and late retrieve - Barb, the SPOTS and the Nuvi are doing a great job
