Paragliding Blossom Valley | Day after Thanks Giving | Lots of air traffic.

Everyone over here in So Cal had the day off. Even tho the conditions were garbage everyone wanted to fly.

This day was very hot for November. I blame chemtrails.

When we got to launch, there were a bunch of pilots getting ready to fly.

I told Chris that he needed to give the report.

Chris launched first and ended up at the bailout.

We were a little apprehensive to launch, but we wanted to fly.

This was my first day back in the air after the chaos at Palomar one week earlier.

So today, I am going to just take it easy.

As the day progressed, more and more pilots were in the air.

Some of them crossed and went to El Cap.

I made the decision to stay at the site and fly.

It took me about an hour to regain the confidents that I lost.

I practiced top landings and watched some of the more excellent pilots.

I launched a few more times before the day was over.

There was a nice glass off at the end of the day. I was able to get above the launch.

At this point in the day, I felt like I was back to normal.

Flying around over launch is fun when there is not much air traffic.

Another smooth landing, but I missed it because the GoPro was off.

Chris came to tell me that he had to hike because he launched first. LOL
