Default SSA on the Road...Literally

She may not have had any experience on retrieves before this


Actually she had prior experience as her first ever retrieve was to
get me from a field North of Seminole on Day 2 (that wasn't because
not enough of us made min distance). I had the good fortune to have a
group of passing locals help get the glider to the edge of the field
before she arrived so, after her first drive with a glider trailer,
she only had to endure the first wing removal experience. It's good
to know she was willing to go out and do it again.

I'm sure I was just are grateful as you when she arrived though and
agree that the SSA staff support at that contest was exceptional.
