I finally managed to get airborne during the last big day of
record-breaking heat wave on Tuesday. Peter, John, JJ, and I car-pooled in my
Subaru from eastern Massachusetts to the Mohawk Trail in the western part of the
state. We gawked at the impressive damage from hurricane Irene as we drove along
the reopened section of road through the Mohawk Trail State Forest.

We had an easy hike out to launch, which is unusual. We're usually still plowing
snow this time of year and flying usually means breaking a trail to launch and
then shoveling the launch. Instead, we were greeted with greening grass and warm
air blowing straight in.
