Marshall, Saturday June 7Interesting day. It was blowing over the back at Crestline in the morning. 1st flight: 2nd flight: Fun day with lots of people I enjoyed seeing again. Forums > Pilot Reports Flight > PG · GPS Track Sites > Marshall
Fun DayA very fun day indeed. Launched around 4:30 pm Marshall to find sparse lift getting flushed to the beehives in front of regionals. finally at around 2000 MSL I found a nice fatty that took me up over cloud. A great day at MarshallI arrived at launch at 12:30 and launched at 1:00 flew the house thermal to 5500' msl. I went back to Crestline with Dave Beardslee. Not much there and knowing the west winds were to pick up, I headed back to regionals. Was about to head to Pine when I got a phone call that I needed to top land and drive the truck down. I went back to Marshal low. I had to work very light lift for a half hour to get back up to launch level for a nice top landing. |

keller and cajon
met with dusty and rebar at 9 am to help add new shelves to the storage container. then got a ride to crestline on the noon o'clock mcbus.
a gentle 8 mph breeze from the south southeast greeted me on launch at 1:10 pm. climbed immediately to 6k and headed east. at the turnout, i got a little low, so headed back to crestline launch. trying to see if i could convince gene to join me, i headed back to the east and found a beauty at rock and roll corner to 6,200.
no sign of gene, so i headed out and got to 6,300 at strawberry peak. then 6,500 a mile east of the high school. it took me three tries to get established at santa's village to make a bid for running springs.
over the 330 in running springs, i found a nice fat thermal that took me to 7,500 feet and an easy glide across the gap and above the big "r" on the hill.
again to 7,500 i headed to keller peak. arrived about 800 feet below the summit. a white knuckle climb up the face of keller, pulled me up to 8,400 feet.
knowing the west winds were on their way, i wanted to head back soon. i waved goodbye to all the folks hanging out at the lookout station on keller peak, and headed west.
a stop again in running springs, then again at rock and roll, then pine, then sugar pine, then cajon had me as far west as i cared to venture.
back to crestline to complete the double out and back, and then past marshall on my way to the lz.
loads of folks in the air, and the lz. so nice to see familiar and new faces all hanging out sharing stories.
