Forecast is similar to 15Sep, but the low level jet is further above the surface today. Stayed low after launch to cross the airport SE to the grass strip and drop low. Turned NE on the surface and traveled toward the end of the strip. Climbed to turn SE, S, SW and follow Bob toward Hudson. In the middle altitude we reached 20mph but slowed back to 10 above 1000. Dropped too low too early approaching Hudson and turned E of the old DEC Alpha fab. Climbed back up to head toward Fort Meadow Reservoir and Bob. Crossed 85 at 290 and could have headed for the school, but dropped to turn back SE toward the Reservoir. Crossed back over 85 at the water and dropped to the surface. Turned to the NE again. Climbed before reaching the shore line to turn SE toward the far shore, close to 85. Dropped to the surface at the end and turned further E to end in the grass behind the restaurant on the south shore at 85.
