 July 31th, 2019 Dog (Glenoma,WA) report:

7 hangs flew Dog today (Wednesday). We launched after 5pm, l topped out 500ft above launch, got too low at Elk and went back to Dog. Robin made to Elk with Ray Berger. Got to 3300'.

Aug 1st, 2019 Rampart (Snoqualmie Pass, WA) Report:

4 R’s; Ray Berger, Ron Barbera, Robin Briejer and me Rick Lai- we all had great late afternoon flights in nice thermic conditions. Launched after 4pm and everyone flew for a couple of hours. Altitude gains were 6,000 to 7,500ft most of the time. It was easy cruising between first wall to Alta Mountain. Robin Briejer and Ray Berger hit 8,000ft a few times. The air was super buoyant after 1.5 hours later and none of us felt any rotors or bumps during landing approach over the Carrier Deck LZ. I'll post more photos and video later.
