Saddle launch

Post by gregangsten »

Last Saturday seemed like a perfect day to launch the saddle with a strong wind blowing in a little east. It was, but I ran into a little problem. I took off running, went about 10 feet looking straight ahead the way you should, and stepped into what I assume was a gopher hole in soft earth. Very nearly fell down but managed to get away OK. I would avoid that launch until it is buffed up.
