Folks,

Just thought Id let you know that me and my trusty Cherokee II went
about 95 NM downwind from Ames, IA today in medium midwest thermal
conditions. Highest altitude was about 5100 MSL. Definitely have got
silver distance in the bag, think I came up a little short on Altitude.
Duration was abou 3:40 minutes. Came up 5 miles short of intended
goal, some high overcast shut down all the lift and I landed out. Fun
had by all, more detailed flight report to come...
