2ToFly.com - US Tour 2010 - Day 15

Last day of the tour and we are still in Chelan. Matt and Barry have decided to stay on for a few moew days whilst Peter has to get back to Seattle for his flight tomorrow

A forecast of light east, 5-10kmh with a blue day. Top of lift of 3200m.
On Chelan launch for 12:00 where we discovered problems with the Ford dropping oil, Conrad took it back down to check it out. Merydth put up here oyota as the retieve vehicle.
We set a triangle task to Waterville then up towards Mansfield and back to the Soccer LZ however it was very light on launch, switching between all launches – lots of people clammering for the launches and only a few cycles to help them off the hill however Peter and James managed to get away quite quickly.
Mattie and Barry waited for a couple of hours then we switched to the top launch after Conrad got back with the Ford. Matt and Barry with Conrad had flights over to Cashmere, Peter landed early on the rim beside the power lines.

We drove up the the Mexican restaurant at Brewster, close by Pateros for an end of tour dinner and talked tall stories until overly late.

Barb and Joy drove Peter back to Seattle whilst we all stayed on to fly some more
