Got the Tweet from Dr. Pratt and gave it a shot on this clear Sunday. Got there just before 1pm or so, and Tree Man had just launched and was up and over with the Condors. By the time I parked on top, Tree Man was scratching and after a good long fight, landed at Goodenough LZ. With minimal coaxing, he was on his way back up, and soon we were flying together with the big birds and top landing occasionally. Sunny day, green grassy hills and pretty nice lift made for a lot of fun and I managed to top land Oat proper and reset the wind streamer pole as a personal highlight. The Condors were plentiful, perhaps a dozen visible at one time. 1000' over was my best gain and 500 over was the average. I finally had to just quit and head home, though it would have been nice to just fly until dusk. Thanks SOOOO much Dr. Pratt. It is magical in the spring there. Ahhhhh.

3 Flights, average of 30-45 min. each. 800 fpm lift at times, mostly half that or less. Fun stuff.
