Greetings All;
Been wondering who and where people flew last weekend????  Ben and I flew Spruce on Saturday.  We were the only pilots there and used the truch mounted motorcycle as a turn around / retrival vehicle.  We parked the cycle at the Bennet's farm and drove up to launch.  Although the road is now paved for over half of the way - it is still a long turn around.  
When we arrived on launch the winds looked great, but a bit moreto the north that we expected.  In any event, Ben launched first and boated aroundthe observation tower for a while beforegettingcaught out and ending up in the  LZ.  I was able to run a bit more conservative line and managed to top land.
God to be backin the air.
LE

Josef flew Bill's Hill, but it was a rowdy sledder, so the rest of us were not encouraged to even pull our wings out of the bags.  
Rest of us: Juan with two tandems, Stan, Susanna, Juri and I. Lots of support personnel. Film crew, family members...
 Film crew, family members... 
Too bad.

Well, they came to film Juan and make a documentary on paragliding. But that's all I dared to get out of them. Everytime I approached them, they stuck a big camera in my face, so I learned to keep my distance...LE Herrick wrote:Sounds like there must me more to this story. Film crews???
