We decided not to have breakfast in the motel this morning and went to explore a new place. There is a gas station on the way to the airfield. The small place right on this gas station looks like it just has been opened. There is no advertisement on the outside and we found it just but mistake. You get a beautiful under $10 hot breakfast and can enjoy the spectacular river views. Coffee tastes just amazing. This is the place we will be definitely having brekkies for the whole week.

The day today turned out not flyable. Task was just a 100km triangle and Keith went up in his PW-5 to sniff. After watching him scratching for about an hour over the field not getting higher than 2500ft the day was called off. Brian didn't want to believe it was that bad an self-launched in his ASH-26 just to put the engine away, than back up, and then away to land 30 minutes later. There was some thick cirrus entering the area from the south and the southerly winds brought a significant temperature drop just after midday. This killed all the weak thermals and the day was called off.
