1 flights 1hr Rampart on Sept 28th 2014

I went to Mt Baldy (15 miles south of Ellensburg Washington) on Sept 26-27,2014 for the annual Fly-In. I had three flights at Baldy on Fri and Sat and one great flight at Rampart on Sunday. This is a day 3 video at Rampart.

Day 3 (09-28-14 Sunday)
Travis and l met up the hangs group at Rampart around 11:00am. We arrived launch approx 12:30pm and found the conditions not so nice, mostly dead or light breeze blowing from the back. Therefore, most of us decided to launch from the higher spot which is the paraglider launch instead. There have a lot of PGs at the higher launch sharing the setup area with us, all workout fine. Launching from the new spot it seems like flying a new site to me. I found a nice thermal on the right side of the launch that took me straight up to 1000 ft above launch. It since like there have a lot of small lifts and sinks in between so I didn’t go too far north this time. I flew for almost an hour and began to sink out. The air in the LZ mostly smooth and clam this time so we all landed without incident or whack.
