Walts Point to Mammoth

Second to last off out of the small crowd of eight... sweet climb out after light wind dive off launch, no brainer down range to Big Pine, 10-13k mostly out front, finding turb and wrenching my left risk while flying one handed (due to radio and camera use by right hand) then a low save passing over Glacier Lodge Road, drifting over Coyote Flats... super cool area, intermittent lift to Mt Tom... took the long way to Lake Crowley, leaving at 12k was a mistake as I hit a wall at Mammoth Airport, testing the runway direction dead into the West wind and in the flight path...l anded across the street at 7,200' msl, water skied 15 yards before flaring and sinking into the swamp grass a foot... anvil head over Mammoth started to gust my way, so content to have called it a day, took some video along the way and extracted some stills:
