I arrived Dog LZ around 1PM and drove up to launch for Alan R, Rob A and Katy B. The winds were quite south and consistently changing directions from south to west approx 10-15mph.  They had a nice over an hour soaring flights.  The second group of hangs ready to launch when I hiked back up to launch later around 4PM (Aaron S, Kerie S, Tina J, Jasmine , Paul A, Paul Dad, Brian and Greg). I think everyone got  over an hour or two hours flights.  

I launched around 5:00PM before Stas, Tim C and Steve D and flew for almost 3 hrs. Although, the winds didn't switch north but Elk was still working great. Some thermals were giving us good climbs to 3,300 to 3,500ft MSL (approx 1,600ft above launch).  The lift was still there by the time I landed around 8:00PM.
