Marshall, Tues. 8/5/08

Sunny and warm at 0930, humid with clouds forming over the desert slopes. Basically no wind at Marshall, gusts from several directions. Steady light flow from the south at 1130, easily soarable, lift breaking off all around the LZ. Got to 5700 in 600-1000 FPM lift a little after 1300 and it was ridge soarable at Crestline; fought lift around the LZ to land. Quite bouyant at 1500 and still active around the LZ.

Impressive clouds built up on the desert side of the mountains and Cajon Pass, but nothing drifted out over the valley. A few puffs formed over Berdoo mid-afternoon but they disappeared quickly.

Ho-hum.
