Having just begun the dark dreary months of soaring, December has brought fog, mist and drizzle with biblical rains on the horizon. But today is an exception and despite a less than marginal chance of XC it wasn't going to pass me bye. With my twenty-seven in the shop getting even prettier I climbed aboard the twenty-four "DR" for a trip into the blue.
My best chance at staying up looked to be South Goat so I released high and flew the sun soaked ridge waiting for a beep ... waiting ... waiting.
A beautiful place to slowly descend while hunting around. Looking over to see a little snow at Snow.
Wispies made some brief appearances over the foothills so I hit a couple and made some brief turns in lift.
With only enough lift to slow my decent, I headed out to the Valley. A low December sun angle, Clear Skies and Visibilities Unlimited made for a breathtaking view.
A young couple was up enjoying a trip in the ride ship on a perfect ride ship day. I added a fly over to their adventure.
After too short of an hour in wonderful, clear December air, I decided to take a couple of circuits too keep off the winter rust and dream for a distant Spring.
