As of 3:30p, Gordon Boettger and Hugh Bennett flying a Duo Discus, are
on the third leg entering the Owens Valley.. Conditions are, as they
say in the meteorology world, SCREAMIN', as they've been at max speed

There was a bit of a hiccup at Mono Lake on the 2nd leg, but they got
past that. *Target landing is at least Winnemucca for about 2100km,
but with extra luck they can hit McDermitt for 2300km or so.
