This was a quick little flight compared to most at Blossom. But I needed to get a flight in before the weather came through.

The weather report was dismal.

I was late to expect anything really great.

Ryan Bloum and his brother along with Oldman potter and nik were on the ridge right away.

This is not a ridge with much room.

So if you have more than 4 gliders it feels like its packed.

We all kind of struggled to stay up because the thermals had turned off.

I noticed that Ryan, who is an excellent pilot, landed. His truck is on the launch so landing at the bottom is not an option.

If I wasn't in it for the workout, I might have just made a b-line for the bailout, but I figured I would work it all out.

After Ryan landed, I considered landing but kept flying.

Soon after, Collin landed.

He had missed the bail out as well. He had to side hill land.

After I saw him side hill land, I knew that I was going to be hiking alone.

The weather was perfect.

So I didn't mind the hike.

I found this shackle. If you lost it, let me know.

It was a great workout.

Randy and Hive account@paleotreats trolled me after the hike.
