So how far did you guys fly?

Does it really matter if they were having a good time?

Yesterday Matt Michael, in his Woodstock, and I, in the Cherokee, set
out downwind from Ames municipal on a pretty nice soaring day,
especially considering the time of year! we were greeted with about
300 fpm thermals, sometimes stronger, but with wide spacing. Often we
had nearly 10 mile runs between them. I ended up pushing too hard
instead of backtracking to matt who was in lift, and landed out in a
nice harveste soybean field. What a wonderful time of the year to
fly, when the landscape is littered with perfect runways in all
directions. Matt flew around for about another hour but was kind
enough to join me in the field. what a wonderful flight! pictures
are here, currently uploading so check back again:
