Looks like we have several options for Sunday. SR and BD at Lemmon could work as well as Miller. Anyone interested?

Ewan, John W. & I are planning to meet at I10 & Houghton @ 8:00AM to go to Miller. Let us know if you want to join us.

Ewan, John W. & I arrived around ~10:30 at the east Miller launch. The wind was blowing straight in when we got to launch. By the time we gave Ewan a site intro and got our gear ready, the launch conditions had changed. Flags not matching, strong gust & then dead. We had the typical Miller launch struggle. John tried to go first but after waiting for a while he stepped down. Ewan went next and he got off with minor tip collapses on both sides after waiting for a few minutes for a cycle he liked. This was Ewan’s first Miller flight. Congratulations to Ewan for his first Miller flight. I setup next and waited for quit a while before going. Ewan was on the ground before I got setup on launch. I made a few passes out in front of launch and shortly was up to 9k. The wind was drifting me to the NNW. While John packed up & drove down, I went out over the valley and made my way north to the border check station. That's about when John & Ewan caught up with me. The wind direction was different at different layers, but it still had a north component at the low level (below 11k). Between Benson and the end of the Whetstones I found lots of lift and hit my max altitude of ~12.3k. The wind above 11k was out of the North. I continued my trek towards Vail. I ended up flying for about 3hr 28 min and landed 44 miles from Miller launch, a little ways west of Vail.

A big THANK YOU to John and Ewan for taking on the driving/retrieve duties.
