Holy Freaking Catfish, rarely do you see the wet valleys so well delineated by the blossoming cumulus cloud cover....you can clearly see the bend in the Genesee valley at Mt.Morris, then continuing down to KDSV and beyond. Lots of lesser valleys too, e.g. Wyoming - Warsaw.
Bottom line: release over the high ground....and stay there!!
