Marshall to Lancaster flight, 67 miles

 Another high cloud base day with SE wind and typical course. I was flying with Gavin, Rush, Jai Pal and Jonathan. Days in October are short and we was late at least 30 minutes, I was able to climb to 6K just right after the launch and start the journey to NW. Flight was good until I get to Palmdale area and decided to experiment with the line, going to the east low ridge. Bad idea. I should stay with Russ on the left (west) side. Russ was able to fly all the way to Quail Lake.

Elsinore to Corona and back flight, 35 miles

 I flew from Lake Elsinore to past Corona before, but this time idea was to do out and return and maybe try to shoot toward Soboba. Dmitry was up for a challenge and we had an excellent flight to south Corona and back. We could probably fly all the way to the end of the mountain ridge, but commercial airplanes traffic was so bad we decided to play it safe and turn around early. Well, not early enough to have a chance for Soboba leg, since sea breeze already arrived when we returned to Elsinore. Dmitry laded on the lake shore and I attempted to cross the lake and establish on the other side, but that did not quite work out. I landed maybe 10 miles up near hw 74, but still managed to do a nice 57 km free triangle.
