Marshall 1 June, 06

Rode up with Owen and Mark, planned to top land and drive Owen's truck down. Got to 5200 and Crestline within 15 minutes of launching the Falcon 225 at 14:06, then went towards Pine but sank slowly and ended up at Last Chance. Was near Marshall after 1 hr., but not high enough to top land. Spent the next hour trying to get high enough to shoot an approach, sinking down to above the 750 at one point. Got to 4150 south of the windsock a couple of times, but not quite enough for an approach. Fun but difficult, too warm in light jacket. Finally got 4300 east of the peak and the approach and landing at 15:59 were easy in the smooth air.


Got to appear cool for a while, driving Owen's custom airfoil-HG-rack equipped machine with personalized plates only an HG or PG could understand.
