The winds here at the tops of our ridges don't often suddenly quit, but we're only about 10 or 15 miles from home so we can usually make it back. There is another private airport half way home. Our mountains are very steep and there are lots of great fields in the valleys as well. Our airspeed on this day was pretty much just above min sink because the lift was so marginal. Most of the time we are thousands of feet higher when we are down there.
