4/22/12:  The whole coast was socked in with dense fog, and Trey called close to noon asking, did I want to go to PV and see if we could fly? Well, given his amazing batting average for calling it right, I said sure, let's go!  And it was completely overcast the whole 30-mile drive down there.  But just as we came around the bend where we could see the LZ, there was a bit of blue sky!  And when we got to the top, the wind was blowing up the hill!  It was beautiful, flying around the edges of the fog bank - turned onto final a bit too low, and just missed clearing the last of the bushes - but Trey had a great landing!  Nice!

Wild Cattle Ridge, Sunday 2-26-12

It was blowing down when I got up there, but waited around for a while, and was just about to give up and drive back down, when the Air God smiled and turned the wind around, and it was perfect!
