An hour and fifteen minutes of flying compressed into 8 minutes. Launched off Blue Mountain in PA. Hopped clouds over to the NJ/PA border. 2:15 make it up to cloudbase 2:35 head on to the next cloud 3:15 lift is weak under this one 3:20 jump to next one 3:40 lots of circles climbing back up 4:15 ok lets hop to that next cloud 4:35 oops. lots of sink. it's further than i thought! 5:05. I've lost about 2000 feet. turning in zero sink/lift 5:40 give up on the lift. lets go on glide and look for the next one 6:10 ok now I'm only about 1000' over the ground. Where to land? 6:30 still drifting from field to field... 7:05 ok that's the one i'm going to land in.
