St.Helena 4-5-14

A good post-frontal day and great flying is usually the ticket to the sky. We punched our tickets!!
   Along for the day were John Lord, Fred Clement, Eric Beckman, and myself flying.   Eric's wife Heather came out and drove for us. Thankyou Heather.  Here's the pics

Nice cloudstreet toward Cobb Mt. and on up the range.  I flew for 1hr 58mns. and landed at Janes LZ with everyone else. Jane came out and visited.  Perfect spring day in every way!!
