Alex Neigher's tracker turned somewhere near Christmas Valley, OR. On his way back.
Ddn't see a track so just called Kempton (5pm). He was at 10,000', heard a vario sounding positive in the background then lost the call.
Only just saw the discussion on "Williams Today". Kemp had posted about a big day four days ago.
