Elsinore Apr 10th

I arrived at the Edwards launch at 12:20 to find it blowing straight in from the NNE at 8-12 mph. I launched at 12:45 into sink. I turned right and hit a few of the few early thermals all the way to the LZ in 20 min. I watched as another PG launched and maintained and then got up. I saw a second PG and a hang coming from a Rad launch. I drove back up and it had turned pretty east so I went to the E launch. I launched there at 1:45 and flew 20 min of light thermalss all the way to a new lz right by my new house. Very cool. A young lady saw this and offered a ride back up to launch. Very cool. I drove down and stopped a the LZ and found a driver and it was still blowing in at Edwards at 2:45. I launched Edwards at 3:00 and got right up at the North face as it was turning NNW. I caught what seemed like a convergence. I couldn't see it, but the LIFT was there. Wow. To 6K msl. I stayed there till I got tire of flying alone and landed at the tree LZ at 5:05. Hard to get down. I had to use tight spirals and wing overs and assymetric spirals and a horse shoe to get down. Great landing right at the tree.
Tomorrow looks better.
See you in the LZ at 11:30
