Post frontal conditions in late August at Mount Diablo. Atypical? Apparently not for 2010. Gerry, Bob and I have to check out this blessing, so off the Towers Launch under some nicely developing clouds.
Conditions are what you would expect on a day like this ... weird, as I work out front.
Bob and I climbing below a big Q.
A parking lot full of cars at the summit, as we soar high above.
And play in the todays big sky.
After about an hour we head out and plummet like stones. Westerlies had kicked in forcing us to work lee side trash behind the quarry before landing in rotor at the Plateau LZ after an unusual and fun late August day. Enjoy the video.

Matt - nice video.
Robert ... missed you out there. I kept thinking "this is a rigid day" with the strong lift and sink around. I'm pretty sure you would have taken it South.
