the end I couldn't get them to buy in, which was disappointing. I know we could
have had some really cool shots.
As you can see in the trailer below... mehr

retuning tasks. On Saturday, September 7th, Mike Degtoff came out earlier than
normal to give me a trike tow at 1:00 PM. We hit turbulence at 1000ft and I was
off tow and thermaling the T2C.
There was a line of showers to the southeast... mehr
