These two days, thermals started very late. I took off around 3pm, and released over Hot Rock. Climbed to 12,000 ft without much struggle, and headed east. I hit another one over Martis Peak, and yet another one 6 miles south of Mt. Rose. The last one brought me up to 15,000 ft. Then I headed south over the Sergio's Elevator until I could closely see Spooner Pass, but the air was quiet. I headed back north, caught a few more good ones which brought me back to 15,000 ft again. I came as north as Verdi Peak, then headed west to see how things were like there. Despite dynamic landscape which looked good thermal sources, there weren't much activities except for some bumps. I landed 5:40pm after flying 2.7 hour.
