The fun starts again!I love the setting, time to get going, the view is superb!See you up there!Alain

Leisurely stroll without any turn ,all on ridge lift 1h21:34a walk in the park!Alain

We flying the same course?!!I get to the bridge at TP1, no problem, at 5K'+ but then for the life of me can't find the lift to find my way back. All the ridges seem lifeless, lift-wise. What am I missing? Have I already lost too much alt. by this point, do you think?Congrats to the mission builder, anyway - great fun, this soaring.

You take the same south ridge as you came in and stay real close. You will get lift. My height was between 5600 feet and 8900 feet using speed not to get higher. I did not circle once !See you up there!!Alain
