David's third try to see his new envelope inflated. Saturday was forecast clear but breezy, Labor Day Monday was rain, but Sunday was calm and overcast. David arrived late and then had to borrow my fan so we stood and waited. Still got off ahead of David, heading slow NNE. Picked up when I climbed to clear the homes, and dropped again before RT111 to slow down for David to catch up.

Continuing NNE I couldn't get enough right turn to make the AMD parking lot at RT2 & Central. Didn't recognize the water tower access in time (Scott has the combination :-). Thought about the Long Lake beach but don't remember the utility pole/line layout so we went on toward 2A. At the new neighborhood off Field Lane I considered the street but the houses have very little front yard (short field landing!) so I set down in the prior field and we walked out to the street for deflation.

David ended up in the parking lot across from Kimball's.
