Default PASCO egg in Minden

Mike Mitton "captured" the PASCO egg from Truckee September 28 with a
nice flight out of Minden. He towed with SoaringNV to the west to see
if the clouds on that side of the valley would work, and after
scratching around for about an hour finally made it south far enough
to have the 100 km distance he needed from his destination.
(Capturing the egg requires a start at least 100 kms from the location
of the egg, and the 1% rule applies for the tow.)

The egg now sits in the SoaringNV office at Minden. Congratulations,
Mike! Good flight!
