Hope to see Mark's Brokenstraw adventure story here. It was a wonderful soaring day with cloudbase at 5,500 - 6,000 ft in the DSV area. Very clear, no haze and a good day to take pictures. Wondered why I was getting to distant Cu lower than expected. Discovered after 5 hours that my landing gear was extended the whole time. I don't hear the higher pitched sounds of whistling like the extended gear so I didn't notice. I usually retract the gear right after tow release. Another thing to add to the check list. Still it was very pleasant 5 hrs and I got some good pictures of Hemlock and Canadice Lakes.
