Notes:
got high over cliffs, benched back to ridge, bench back again and hit a nice 5+ m/s up. Easy glide to Camel's hump and ratty lift there, couldn't get above 6,000ft but hung out for a long time, what a view. Flew back to launch then did it again, it was so much fun! Stien was on flight #7 when I landed~ going for the record!
