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.
