Double-Cascades Crossing: #2 from Washington
Congrats to Ron Clark on his Great flight.
I too have made a Double Cascades Crossing. Flying my Std Libelle Old Dog from Issaquah Gliderport on June 4th 1978. It was an exceptional soaring day with a Monster Cloudstreet starting at Mt Si and running to Crescent Bar Washington. I flew off the end of the cloud street at 13K ft and on to Ephrata before turning back. The Street was still there and working well to the Snoqualime Pass area. From there it was an easy glide back to the Seattle Area making my final turn over Mercer Island before landing back At Issaquah. All in all a very easy day as I was High all day.
This was my 2nd (and 3rd) Cascade crossing as I had made a flight from Ephrata to Monroe previously
