A Cold Frosty Morning

Date: 11/5/09 (6:00-7:00 AM)
Place: Cosmo Park, Columbia, MO
Kites: Echo on 12'
Wind: 0 - .5 mph, NE
Weather: Clear, sunny 35º

It was a cold frosty morning and it was dark, with moonlight, followed by a sunrise. It was cold enough that the toes of my Crocs became as frosty as the grass.

During the dark part, I flew by "feel" mostly. I did some 360-side-slides. The Echo bobbled some -- I'm sure that this trick will be much easier in true indoor conditions.

By the end of this flying session my clothes, including hat and gloves, were all very wet from condensation.

The VOX article featuring me came out today. Kelsey (and the editor) did a pretty good job!
