2ToFly.com - US Tour 2010 - Day 9

Cool town Lakview, they have a huge "L" on the side of the hill marking the launch that you can see from miles away. They must love the free fliers to have written up the launch like that
Day was looking a little windy by 10:00. We got up to launch over Lakeview and there were already some gliders ridge soaring, Cu was already building.
We all launched except for Barry, the Geos is not too fast and he made a wise decision. We all landed fairly quickly and allowed the day to develop. A couple of paragliders flew and got away, also some hang gliders. A big day for some, one slept out overnight in his wing and they were still searching for a missing hang glider the next day

We did some talking and theory, thermal centering and coring. Barb and Joy prepared a fine dinner then off to bed
