Flew LS8 from Williams for about 4 hours - 300km. Released at Tree Farm at 7,500 feet, climbed a little over 9,000 feet, and headed north. Caught another good thermal near Black Butte to 11,000 feet, and headed further north, but the air was totall quiet there. I went as far as Anthony twice before I decided to head south. Turned Rumsey Gap, and flew back to Williams. Flight log is posted on OLC.

Flew LS8 from Williams. I started very late, around 2:30pm. Released at Walker Ridge at 5,000 feet, climbed above 8,000 feet over Tree Farm, and headed north. There was a good cloud street all the way to T15. I turned T15 around 4:30pm, but got shot down by virga between M3 and M6 on my way back, and ended up landing on Willows. It was a good 3 hour 20 minutes flight. Flight log is posted on OLC.
