Sun Valley - Day 2



Todays weather was a repeat of yesterday: low clouds that sat on launch until after noon, and cold, cold, cold.

We changed to another launch facing another direction, but the committe quickly decided that wasn't going to work either, so they canceled the day.


We did get some quality time with the 3-d topo map:
