San Marcos Report - I headed to San Marcos later this afternoon, after getting set up in the new casa, but no one was in the air when I arrived on launch. Nice CUs over Cerro Viejo behind San Marcos and nice cycles up launch.

I saw one HG rig driving down and saw a HG on the LZ packing up and one one bird soaring just above launch, but not getting high. So after 15 minutes I decided a top-landing was not likely and drove down to Pedro's LZ.

I met new pilots Enne & Yakin who were the pilots driving & flying down. They are new HG pilots who learned in Valle de Bravo, and were flying on their own after only 3 high flights? Mexico has different expectations of their beginner pilots.

We BS-ed for a bit and then I headed back to the casa.
