It was kinda foggy on the coast all day today, but WARM in the air (inverted)! Very nice, great conditions. Took an excited passenger from the event up here. When we got back, the SLO tower asked for a ride ;)
We left Gunnison and had to climb to high to cross the mountains to reach Saguache and the San Luis Valley. If was very cold, about 30F ambient temperature. Our goal was the heated pool at Hooper, Colorado. We just hoped it would be open when we landed so we could warm up.
