When you're semi-retired from flying you forget to do things. Like forgetting to call to get a permit and forgetting to untie your VG rope to thread it through the cleat. Talked to SD at 4:44 where he mentions something about the permit. Oh, carp! Quickly called the ranger station where a recording let me know that they close at 4:30.

If you read Tom's report, I did get over launch, but the main reason for coming in lower across the valley than excepted was that I left Oat even with launch, not from my high point.

If your interested here is a short video of the flight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loQGbhPNlHI
