East To Darrington

Looking east up the Stilliguamish Valley... Marginal thermal conditions limit altitude gains to around 4,000 feet.. Conditions look better deep in the Cascades but the clouds never happen at Frailey...

Lake Cavanaugh

Over the back looking west.. Light wind and light lift... The smooth surface of the lake indicates that the wind has not yet started to blow out of the west...

Landing Zone of the Day

Dodge a couple of cow pies... Nice landing into a smooth breeze... Frailey Mountain, and the dangerous cliff launch backsets this shot of the LZ..
