Default Boettger out of Minden Susanville Mojave zig-zag today 1000km plus

Here's Gordon Boettger's DeLorme InReach track:

The SSA Tracker site only shows his Spot.

Jim Payne is also doing his zig-zag out of Minden.

Also, some Sat photos, cockpit Iphone photos, and HRRR model mountain depiction. We both discussed whether or not to conduct a downwind record for today. It was decided that too much cloud cover precip would prevent save VFR flight past Elko, NV. Current conditions from Elko to Salt Lake City and Logan show BKN-OVC 11500-13000 up to 18,000msl with light precip in UT and SW WY.

Here's a link to a folder with photos:

The SSA Sailplane Tracker is showing Gordon's InReach as well as Jim's Spot and InReach. Pretty neat.
