We didn't get the altitude we wanted (needed) to make the high school, but it was nice to see the extra digit on the vario for a change. I topped out at 10200 and wasn't feeling the love from the mixing air at that point. Went to CalTrans and found some lift, picking up 1000 ft., but that doesn't get you out of the fishbowl on the North side of Drylakes Ridge. Other pilots did better, I think Bob got close to 12k, and the Spin Doctor managed to make Rose Valley.

The crew opted to divert to Chief Peak on the ride home, which turned out to be a good call. It looked pretty weak at first but all five of us managed to make the high school on the second flight.

Vario log Pine: 1120 fpm up, 800 dn, 1hr. 37 min.
Vario log Chief: 680 up, 680 dn, 57 min.
