Finally got my first flight in for the year. The site is called Waterloo, it is near White Hall, Montana overlooking the Jefferson River. Launch s about 6100 feet and the LZ is about 4500 feet.

We all expected to soar with 15 or so coming straight in. However, this site is notorious and what appeared to be a sure thing turned into sink. But, who cares! This was my first launch and landing for the year... and my first flight at Waterloo.

After a no wind landing we went back up for my Jeep and I decided to hit the natural hot spring for a hot soak and a cold beer. What a day and thanks to Don L and Larry.

Wow man, that looks really nice. It's been hot the last few days here in California, that river looks like it would be nice to jump into after a flight. No video?

Still too cold for the river. Water temp peaked at about mid 40's. The hot spring was very nice after the evening cooled down to the low 50's. Hot spring temp was about 110.

Got a video but it was a short flight, decent launch, lots of sink and an ok zero wind landing.

We may be flying there tomorrow after a brand new student has his first day on the training hill.
