1 hour flight at Chehalem (Newberg, OR) 10/29/15


Chehalem ridge was dry and soarable this afternoon. The low thick fog hung around launch till 2:45pm. I launched at 3:00pm (8-13mph straight up wind) and had over one hours flight. The highest I got was about 400ft above launch. It was a bit turbulent so others decide not to fly.  Winds were pretty light from the south at the big LZ when I landed at 4:05pm. It was dead calm by the time I done packing up my glider. I went back to launch around 5pm and it was still blowing 5-8 mph straight up. A PG pilot Eric Miller showed up at 5:45pm and took two sled rides.
