The classic "First Left Turn On The Grade" tip photo.

Climbing out in the cold air as Leo approaches. Can you spot him?

Fort Ross with Leo in the foreground. Notice how clear it is.

Andy already thinking of re-visiting some of the coastal vistas to the south.

Classic fickle Grade micro meteorology. Within 20 minutes it went from clear to a cap cloud.

Well out over the water keeping an eye on the cloud filling in process.

Some big clouds to the northwest that looked like they might ruin our fun. Turns out they passed by harmlessly to the north.

An interesting perspective while looking back at launch. It looks like launch is socked in. In reality, cloudbase was nearly 2,000 feet above launch.

Maintaining nicely along the ridge to the north of Jenner and Goat Rock.

Jenner and Penny Island.

Goat Rock from about 2,300.

Way back in there over the Big Buckhorn Ranch looking back at Jenner and the river mouth. You can see Red Hill to the right. Not nearly as high as last time.

360ing in light thermals over The Big Buckhorn Ranch.

Floating up and behind the main bowl overlooking Wrights Beach. The wind was blowing straight up this bowl. Was very scenic over this section of hills with lots of grazing (and napping) cows.

Looking south toward Coleman Valley Road and Salmon Creek.

Going on glide for the Coleman Valley ridges. Unfortunately, when I went to take my next shot of Scot, the batteries in my camera were dead.

You can see the cliffs we flew from Doran to Dillon by starting here and clicking on the "Southeast 1" button.
