Jeff,

You might want to rethink the posting because supposedly if you tag towers then you are immediately scored as a hang 3 in this comp according to the rules. As hang 2's, we're at a disadvantage because we can't 'tag' anything other than locals or trash (east trash).

GPS'd, and with Malury

On try number 3, Malury and I were out in the best conditions I've ever flown in -- but a little early in the day still. Since we were tied for 1st in round 2, I knew I just needed one more waypoint than him, so he stopped at trash and I went on to Lances, but then landed out at the beehives. Just rolled the dice and didn't find enough soon enough. I lost my glider in the chest high sage brush for awhile, after ditching it to wade over to the clearing and take off my harness. That was a funny predicament. Finally, I decided it'd be easier to walk back to the harness and pull out the radio and ask the nearby pilots (air support), and after 20' stumbled onto the glider again. (All in the roasting hot temps). Nancy picked me up on the side of the road and took me back up for the second attempt.
