I flew Green's Peak today. Yesterday, I went up there in the afternoon, and the wind was blowing gently over the back.

Today, around 5:00 p.m. the base wind was around 15 with gusts around 20 from the west, so I waited. By 5:45 the gusts were down to 15, so I launched straight toward the campground.

There was not enough workable ridge lift for me to stay up, and the thermals I found had rough enough edges to encourage me to head out and land by the road where I had planted the windsock.

It was only a five minute extended sled ride, but what a beautiful site. We drove right up to launch, and my dad collected me right where I landed. It was 65 degrees.
