4.5 hrs flight at Cliffside Oct 11th 2016

Cliffside (near Goldendale, Wash)  was very good today.  I launched at 12:45 with approx 10-13mph winds,  landed at 5:20pm (over 4.5 hours of air times).  There were a lot of smooth widespread lifts above the windmills that allow me to go further east.  Highest altitude was about 4K ft AGL (3K Above launch).   Temps between 40-50’s . I crossed the river few times to Oregon side.  Mark Rabe and Nat came later and both launched around 4:30 and landed around the same time l landed. It was windy and gusty at the lz by the river. Two paragliders still in the air when l left.  I'll post video later.
