Hi everyone
XC season has started!
A group headed out to Hauser Rd yesterday (4th). Dane and Alan got morning flights, followed by Hugh. Then John Wolfe and I launched with a rough plan to fly back to John's house in Oro Valley.
In the end we were just short, landing a few miles east of I-10 near Tangerine, for a straight line total of 30 miles. Cloud base was quite low to start with and it was a bit cold to spend any length of time above 6000ft (at least that's how I justify spending so much time in the weeds...). Anyway, a great way to dust off the winter cobwebs!
