Okay, so most of you probably see others all the time, but I don't!
On Saturday I was coming back to my airport (Jean, 0L7) when I spotted
another glider near the golf course south of Primm, NV. I was really
jazzed to note that it wasn't a Jean glider! A little later I got in
touch with him on 123.5, and it was "Six Pack" flying out of Crystal.
Made my day!

And thanks for the tip "Uncle Fuzzy" those solar panels did help to
get me to 13.5K and over the class Bravo. Ended up at Mesquite , too
bad for the overcast I would have like to go further. You too were the
only other glider I encountered all day, I wonder why?
