WOW!!!!!!!!!!!


Elsinore Apr 13 (Fickled) Great for some Sucked for others.

Arrived at Edwards at 11:45. The word was the E was blown out.
We began setting up at Edwards and shortly it became apparent it was going to be an E Day. Several pilots bypassed Edwards going directly to the E. About 12:30 we noticed Mitch climbing up over the E. Soaring conditions at Edwards were continuing to slacken. Paragliders were struggling to stay up when RC Dave launched. He turned right and and eventually found lift. Wind kept changing directions making it difficult to decide which direction to turn.
