2hrs and 45 mins at Dog Mt 7/11/18

 Really nice day at Dog.  Dave L flew early afternoon in SW conditions.  Travis, Stas and myself arrived launch around 4:30pm and it was gusty 10-18mph with switchy N/NE conditions at launch.  We launched north side in strong thermal cycles around 5:30pm and climbed up to 1,500 to 2,000ft above launch quickly. We went to the radio towers and I left the towers at 4,000 ft to Elk.  Good lifts at Elk that easy to maintain 3,000 to 3,600 ft.   It drifted east a bit in the thermals at Elk so I didn't want go down to the Cliffs.  I went back to Dog an hrs later and didn't find anymore 1,000 fpm thermals.   Flew back and forth from radio towers to Elk few times and landed at 8:15pm (almost 3 hrs).
