Re: Box Today
We got to the Box LZ at about 3 PM and decided to drive to the back and hike up to the top. Little did we know that the road has been damaged by rain. Luckily we hit the first impassable section within the first 5-10 minutes so didn't waste too much time there. We turned around and hiked up to the mid launch.
The wind turned out to be a lot lighter than the forecast so we got a glorious sled ride down from the mid launch. Didn't even make it to the LZ. We had to land close to the base of the mountain
