A few flights to note. Inspiration Point (Inspo) in Provo has been consistently great the past several flights. Sunday, June 1st started rather slow. The conditions didn't look that great. Steve Rathbun and I were the only hangs that showed up. There were an uncountable number of bags in the air and on the ground (literally), when we arrived. I ended up with a 2hr+ flight that yielded many gains over 12agl. My highest gain was close to 15agl. It was a somewhat easy soaring day, one just had to bumble into one of the giant thermals out front and turn! One of my first thermals landed me at 13agl, which I used to make my way north to Mt. Timpanogos. The air was quite a bit more textured close to Timp. It was an experience hard to describe. Emerald melt water ponds dot the backside of Timp and the recent snowfall freshened up the lingering snowpack. Beautiful! The air was exceptionally clear, which made for a great kodak moment - no camera. The odd thing about Timp is when you are looking east, the range looks so remote as though the terrain belongs in Wyoming or Montana. However, a glance west over the sprawling Salt lake basin puts it all into perspective. Steves flight was very similar to mine.

This past Sunday there were six hangs and a few bags that showed up at Inspo. Everyone got high and enjoyed a super clear spring day.
