Eagle Valle tour 2011

[Tyrone]

So we arrived in Valle on tuesday. Spent Wednesday getting some things ready for the tour and spent the last 3 days warming up. Today was the first day that I took photos during flying with my GoPro. Chip and I have been flying together quite a bit. Our flight today was launch to Penon to Crazy Thermal to Llano, then got drilled coming back to launch and landed at the Piano. All good though, cloudbase was at 10,000 feet today.

We'll be posting photos of the tours here:

The first day, Rasta Chip and i went to Divisa, then to Escalaria and ended up landing at our house cloudbase was about 10k that day. I think it was about a 40km flight. Had a 3 hour flight yesterday. Rob and I had a tough time getting over 9k at launch as we launched pretty late. finally got to 9k and went over the back. Dove into Sacamacate trying to get a piece of the clearly established convergence and took it to the 11,000 foot cloudbase. Then to Cerro Gordo where we met up with Greg Knudsen who is on a 4 day layover in mexico city between his flights for work (CargoLux). From Cerro Gordo, we took the convergence back to escalaria, then to Jovans, then to Elefante, which is northeast of the lake and landed there. We'll try to keep posting photos every night, but no guarantees
