Robb Milley (aka Dirtfoot)

Pine SS

Five pilots and Eddie piled into Deans truck and headed up the hill.  We were just setting up when the hang pilots arrived.  Ron, Hansford, Randall, and I voted Dean to launch first, but I laid out first and punched off before Ron could push me out of the way.  I was quickly 100 over launch, and then just as quickly kicking the Bonzi tree.  Ron and I scratched around there for a long time, then, while my back was turned, Ron caught something and went to 13k leaving me wondering what happened.  I got the next one and took it to 11k and picked a spot for Rhonda (on the ridge line between N and S launches, near the dogleg in the road)

The next thermal took me over 13k, but Randall reported he had landed out but was "near" the trail.  You can't be near enough in 100 degree heat.  I figured we'd better all stay to the south side so I made a play for Ojai.  Before I crossed the 33, my 13k was 9k, and I couldn't even get back to launch.  I headed west and landed at Condor ranch.
