Great Lakes Cup Recap

Cassidy and I had a great time at the Great Lakes Cup Oswego (near Chicago), IL. We had eight good flights out of nine attempts, although problems with the electronic altimeters kept us from recording any altitude data. Our last big practice session is at NARAM in Michigan the first week August.
