From launch to landing, Saturday’s Nuthouse flight was truly magical.  As expected, the strong lapse in the Ojai Mountains blocked the north winds and the lift was big, smooth and fairly consistent.  The highlight was the climb out with SD up the face of the rocky Topa Bluffs.  What a view from atop the bluffs with 8600’.It’s a shame it wasn’t captured with a helmet cam.
