You'd think there would be more launch sites outside of Boulder, moving south or north along the front range - but not that I can see.

I was there too early in the year, if I remember correctly it was sometime in late April and absolutely freezing when I arrived at the entrance at 9 AM. Drove all over the place, managed to set up and paint a looking down the mountain type picture starting at about 11 AM, when it was a little warmer but not much. Anyway, after the picture, this must have been about 3 PM, I was driving alongside a mountain creek and saw, out of the corner of my eye, an old man fishing the stream. Paradise. So that made it all worthwhile. Lucky to live there, you Coloradans. ricpichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321511130788764861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-10387573771441572352013-11-27T11:39:50.967-05:002013-11-27T11:39:50.967-05:00One of the the great things about L.A. is the hang...One of the the great things about L.A. is the hang gliding. We used to have a lot more, but development has us down to about 3 sites in the mountains that ring the huge metropolitan basin, and a few more on the other side of the range facing the desert. The result is about 340 flyable days a year. The problem is that work and life cuts that down to a handful anyway. Life can really cut into your life.bagoh20https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915174575358413637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-54757211744734535892013-11-27T11:32:08.642-05:002013-11-27T11:32:08.642-05:00Oh now I get it. that's what they mean by the...Oh now I get it. that's what they mean by the "Fundamentalist wing of gay advocacy"<br /><br />I was thinking something entirely different, and much more dangerous.<br /><br />That's what I intend to do over my 4 day thanksgiving weekend: fly, fly, fly! <br /><br />FYI, they aren't "training wheels". They're badges of humility that save you and your glider on a bad landing. Everybody needs them sooner or later, and if you don't have em when you do, something gets broken.bagoh20https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915174575358413637noreply@blogger.com
