Flying at Dunlap this weekend was good. Saturday had very good weather, and on Sunday I borrowed Jonathan's variometer and stayed up for 1:15. I even got to 800 feet above launch height. I felt like a lord of the air. I could look past the launch ridge and see dry brown hills giving way to the snow-covered Sierras. It was my longest flight ever, and I was so very happy about it. My landing wasn't great (I didn't flare in time, so I scraped my shin a little), but everything else was wonderful.

On Sunday morning, we were woken up by the LZ owner's dogs. Johanna got some good pictures of me in various stages of alertness.
