First time over the back from Palomar. Quite short flight of just over an hour and 25km, but pretty exciting flying into a dramatic looking sky with a few showers in the distance.
Dimitri at the Palomar Landing area before the flight.
All three tracks - Peter, Dimitri and Steve
On glide down from north of Mt Palomar, where we had climbed to 8000ft. Dimitri and Steve up ahead.
Heading out towards the Vail Lake, with more and more cloud cover.
Passing just south of Vail Lake
Waiting for retrieve after walking 30 minutes to the road in 100 F (38C) temperatures and catching a lift to the main road with a friendly local.
Thanks to Angela Albota for driving around finding us!
