Crestline Soaring Society

great flying this weekend at la salinas. joe popper and myself had mutiple flights with about 700 foot gain above the ridge. lots of really strong thermals and about 17 mph stright in at launch both days. we ended both our days with flights right to our hotel room on the beach. we saw only one other pilot late saturday after we had allready landed. the trail up is well marked and only slightly more then a hike up from torrey. i allways thought that this was mostly a ridge site but the thermals were diffenitely cranking. on the way home we stopped at torrey and flew some more. watch out for the sharp rocks on launch, i tore three lines on launch. attached are two pictures of joe on launch and then landing on the beach by the hotel.
great weekend
