Anyone available? Miller could work.

Tom an I are planning on going to Miller.
We do not have a driver, want to meet in the LZ at 0900?
I am making a couple of calls to try and find a local.
Perhaps we could use your vehicle for a retrieve for mine?

Sounds good. I'll see you in the LZ, and hopefully I'll drag a few more baggers with me.

Do we have a driver, or do we still need my vehicle for the retrieve?

I was not able to secure a driver

OK, I'll see you in the LZ around 9:00.

2 HGs (Tom and Eric) and 2 PGs (Aaron and I) all managed to soar a bit, averaging probably 40 minutes per flight.
It felt like a high-pressure summer day with not a cloud in sight, but it was late September. There seemed to be a lid around 8500 and an inversion right around launch altitude. Many of the thermals I worked were pretty small, and toward the end of my flight they were small, strong, and punchy, so I took that as my cue to land which required some effort as the LZ was popping.

yea ill second that. i flew for 1hr 2min and max alt was 8395. was lots of fun. there was lift in lz which made it changeling on approach, but fun non the less...
