There was a PG (teal with orange LE) that seemed to be tethered a couple of hundred feet over Marshall for a long time but everyone else was getting up and going places. I made a cautious foray back to Crestline and Billboard, but the prospect of working reported gusts to 37 with a Falcon meant I didn't stay back there for long.

I had the heavy gloves out, but stashed the liners in a pocket when I went to put them on. Good thing! I think my hands would have been too warm with the liners. Also, I was able to whip the right glove off and get some photos of the Marshall launch-line - 7 HGs, more on top! Could have easily stayed up a lot longer. I bobbed around above the 750 and the bluffs at about the one-hour mark and decided to land before the pattern got crowded. A while later 5 HGs came in to land one after the other, all decent landings and no close-calcs.

The guys on the blade-wings went east past the high school and west out to Cajon(es) Pass at will.

Lots of great low-wind landings in the LZ while I hung out babbling after the flight.

Fun flight on the reduced-anhedral F3 195. Windy at Crestline -gusts to 37. Easy climbs in sparse but long-lived thermals. Very crowded skies. Warm; glad I stashed my glove liners right before takeoff.

Set GPS to min record intervals of 20 sec/300+ feet. Choppier track but battery was okay (low) after one hour.]]> #sn_ylw-pushpin absolute absolute -117.30313,34.210381,1209.5 -117.30313,34.210381,1209.5 -117.303094,34.209488,1195.699951171875
