CO'26 26.1. (Calenton/ Janaditas)


Mon: not really feeling well: in addition to the rather persistent coughing, my stomach didn't play along in the morning, so I decided to 'skip' the flight from Calenton; Gudrun has taken the day off, but Igor, Kari, Peter, Michael and Edinson have all made nice flights landing either near the hotel in Santa Fe or a bit beyond.

Later we hoped to fly Janaditas, a site we had very little information about. The first option was found quickly, but access proved impossible: private property, all fenced in. We then spent quite some time looking for a good  alternatives, but didn't find anything really helpful. On the way back we checked out another place and Igor launched on the flat, grassy terrain while we heard some thunder in the mountains behind. So Igor has been the only to launch and he landed in Santa Fe close to our hotel. Later it turned out, that also this launch is private and fencend in; so no coming back here tomorrow :-((

Michael had used the afternoon to post a video about the first 2 weeks of our trip - many thanks!
