Come on down! We're going out to the Jornada del Muerto (yeah, that spells "journey of death" for anglos) about noon.

Yours, Greg

Had a great day out in incredible weather, flying with Greg, Chris, and an old friend, Doug.

We're indoctrinating Doug into the world of DLG -- I brought out my Gambler for him to begin to learn to throw on, and without a doubt we've got another flyer in the mix!

Chris and Greg had great thermalling experiences with a Topsky V2 and a B3, and I had a wonderful time flying my XL3200 for such a long time on just a single motor run.

All in all a great day in Las Cruces for thermal flying!

Good to hear that Chris is flying (again) - hope to see all of you at the AZ Open in February.

I'm counting the days Charles !
Great contest ! The AZ folks do an awesome job
Tom

I believe the next Albuquerque DLG thing is the 29th, is that not correct?

It that is correct, how about shifting to the 28th, so Skyler can have a chance. Us guys from down South intend to be there.

Yours, Greg

Good idea Greg
I'm down to fly
Tom

While we're at it, maybe we can fly the Winter Postal Contest task for December: 30-minute working window, max time is 300 seconds, unlimited throws. You score is your best flight (300-second max) plus your worst flight.

Yours, Greg

I'm down for that task!
Task 1 is cool too- 8- 130's
Lookin forward to it
Tom

During the weekend of the 15th and 16th, I'll be in ABQ to fly with my dad, who's been there for a month or more without anything to fly. We both have AMA. Could anyone recommend DLG friendly places to fly?

Tom

Tom,
I am going to go by fiesta saturday just for something to do. Is there a special area or entrance to find flyers.

Tims dad,
