King Day Three 7.16.08

Day 3 at King brought us some more challenging conditions...so challenging, in fact, that I ended up in the bailout LZ with quite a few other pilots. Route 3 was called again and many went over the back having great flights as well, however...Good for them!

Anyway...

The reward for not having a great flight is to head off to the Crater of the Moon hot springs about 1/2 hour south of Arco. We soaked in 90+ degree water for about two hours. I have to admit, it was good for sore muscles and nice to just float around in a hot spring for a few hours. Joe Jackson, Brian Foster, and I had a breath holding contest while my wife, Wendy, watched on with amusement...

There's always something to do at King...
