How was it?
We towed in Eloy, and it worked out better than we thought based on the forecast.

Weather was stellar, warm sunshine cool air. north facing slopes had a dusting of snow.

We worked on the eroded roadway near launch for an hour .The entire rest of the road was in good shape, except for the trees that had fallen in it. John an Shawn removd several of those. They were delayed victims of the fire. The launch ramp is in the best condition it's ever been.
Launch conditions were SSW to south for the first hour then SSE 8 to 10. Launched around 1:30.
I flew for an hour an twenty , nice thermals. Climb rate was 300 to 600 up ! Stopped around 9K. Flew my U2. Great Autumn flying.
NOAA was so.. wrong ! high winds were predicted, East winds.

Only came down, because the truck was in the LZ.
