caught the full eagle bus up, up and away to ej bowl. andy jumped off quick and had an amazing glide to the peak gaining altitude the whole time. so us lemmings soon rolled off too. floated around the peak and altenator nice and high for a while with bob a., jon blake, master bader, and lompoc joel. headed east from there skipping peaks as we were specked out. it seemed we had a bit of an east wind up high all day. bob a. and i got stuck bobbin around ridge level at the powerlines for a while, where hammer and howser met up with us. doug found one, turned and headed back west. we finally got a fine piece of ass up over 5. bounced through the pass between 5 and 6(the info people have shared lately worked like a charm, thanks!). i must say i was pretty stressed out through the pass, dont know how often my brain can handle that. good times, and pretty easy going this time. i was stress beat by the time we got to the bump near the 33 so headed to the high school with bob a and howser. super fun flying with friends. finally got through that dam abyss on my pg. you guys are gnarly that go through that thing all the time. speaking of which, andy and chris paul were way ahead up us where chris made santa paula, and andy got up at sulfur mt, then glided across the valley back to nordoff high school. i hope they post their tales. lots of awesome flights,,, j blake went almost to the power lines and out to padaro(in his words because he got 'bitch slapped' back there,,,lol!), master bader flew to carp, lompoc joel went la cumbre to monticito peak and back to parma, doug probably made an out and return to the powerlines, tons of people high and to the beach. thanks so much to jon blake for the retrieve and to chris paul and howser for fetching the van. i forgot my camera today so only have a tracklog
