I flew only Sunday this weekend, but it was still worth going up to Truckee. I went up to 17,500 ft in an interesting convergence lift. The cloudbase was 14,500 ft on the west side of Carson Valley, and 17,500 ft on the east side. I heard some radios talking about Sweet Water and such, so I tried to go south. But there was a wall of low cloudbase between Carson City and Minden, so I gave up, and headed north instead. I
think everyone who flew from Truckee Sunday went north. There were some OD north of Truckee, and at least one landed out. I flew from Carson City to Air Sailing straight, and that line was never blocked by OD, so I used the same line on my way back, and made an easy back to Truckee. Those who went farther north suffered from OD. There was a landout as far as Adin.
