Sun Valley (ID) -2

Tue: on paper, today looked like a really good xc-day, so at 0900 we were ready at the gondola. 'We' is not entirely correct: after an(other) lousy night I decided not to go up the mountain but be the retrieve driver instead.

Unfortunately, I didn't have to drive very far in order to pick up Andy and Stacy, as the conditions turned out much less 'impressive' than forecast; only 1 pilot made a notable xc-flt. So on the way to 'siesta' at our motel, Andy and I indulged in some sushi.


At 1815 we drove again up to Mt.Baldy for a relaxing evening flight.

Again, tomorrow is looking good on paper...
