1.5 hrs flight at Chehalem Ridge (Newberg ,OR) 12/18/15

At Chehalem Ridge today, the conditions was light and lifty. I flew for 1.5 hrs and it was pretty easy to maintain at a couple hundreds ft above launch with completely smooth ridge lifts. I launched at 12:00pm in about 8 mph winds with 3 paragliders (John K, Mike C and Mark S) and we were surfing between the clouds most of the time. I could have stayed up longer but it got too cold. So I landed at the big LZ in zero wind and the paragliders top landed. The sun came out around 2:00pmwhen I rode my bike to retrieve my car at launch. It was an unexpected blast!!
