If I can't rendezvous with you guys at RV at 7am, can you tell me where the first place you are going is? Lakeview? Where is that?

We had an awesome morning on the West Circuit this morning. We had 5 of us at one point and landed quite a few different places. The conditions were amazing. Great group great fun!!

Ya, I know......everytime I start downloading pictures, I get overwhelmed and give up. Now that I have the airplane home, I feel like the trip is really over. I will try and work on a TR.
