This is a Google Earth version of the track and should open in your local Google Earth. For more information or to install Google Earth on your system, go to Google Earth. Saturday was too breezy and Monday (Labor Day) was forecast to be wet and/or breezy, but Sunday looks good. Bob and Rudi are also out this morning. Bob was first off heading S followed by Rudi, and finally me. We didn't have to climb very hi to pickup 8mph winds so we covered more ground that expected. Continued to drop into low areas to drop speed, heading in the general direction of Collings Foundation, without a visual. Bob moved W to Hudson Rd, dropped low and found a yard to set down for a while. We were further E into the golf courses. Before Boon Rd I determined I was too far W to make Collings and climbed to head for Hudson Rd and Cox School. Found the water treatment plant as a land mark, but as we approached I was loosing the left required to make the school. Headed for a cul-de-sac and continued to turn right missing the circle but found enough room to land on the road toward the entrance. A couple of families came out to see what was happening, better the the earlier balloon event, we came to them! Timelapse Video captured on a static mounted Sony HDR-AS100VR:
