A group from the Crestline club, both HG and PG are heading for the Owen's valley for a stretched out Father's Day weekend.
http://www.crestlinesoaring.org/forum/20110515/4845
I'm going up there on the 16th if the weather looks good and stay at least through the weekend. Any other Sylmartians able to rouse themselves from this country club torpor?
Owens on Father's day weekend, and then some

current status
Currently we have Markus, Arthur and I going up Thursday. Markus and I will be returning sometime on Monday. My wife Nurit will drive so we should have room for you.
I have no problem with that...
However... Arthur, Marcus, Greg, and Myself + Greg's wife. That sounds like a full chase team with 5 people.
or just drive up there and hope to find a ride in the large group of other pilots from Crestline?
or maybe more Sylmartians want to join and split the cost of a driver?

We can all meet Friday at the Pizza place, & decide for sure. (between 5-6pm.)

Don't know if my group will be out at the airport that early. Probably be in the restaurant by the Dow eating breakfast at that time. I'll try to keep a radio on 147.555. My cell No. is 310 213 2139

Owens flights
Well the conditions could have been better but they could have been worse too. It was great just to get out of this marine soup for a few days of flying and relaxing.
On Friday Walt's wasn't happening so we played around in the Valley, went to the museum in Laws, then launched Flynn's at 4:15 after watching a couple paragliders sink out. Nearly did the same but grabbed something down low and wound up over Janies 2 hours later.
Saturday Orian, Alex, Arthur and I launched Walt's and had a decent flight to Independence after getting flushed off in Onion Valley. The Crestline group opted to stay local and land at Lone Pine airport. Even a mediocre day up there is a glorious flight.
