Made it to the Rock House!

Well, we made it! We're at the Rock House. Got here this afternoon. Quite an interesting arrival. They mearsure wind different here in Oregon. 6-10, right down the runway tanslates to 20 - 30 almost direct crosswind. It was exciting. The flight from Wendover to the Rock House was fine until we got to Winnemuca. Winds and thermals really started picking up. Cell phone service is almost non-existent. Will download some pics so check back. Going nite nite. This is an incredible place.
