Drove 6 hours today to watch my youngest nephew -- also a hangglider pilot -- graduate from advanced military training in Columbia, SC.
Yesterday was a perfect fall day for Lookout -- wind from the west, 70 degrees and cumulus clouds everywhere. Trouble was that it was also howling thirty with gusts to forty (enough to shake the house -- I sit on the cliff edge.)
It was a good day to bake gingerbread and air out the house.
The long post yesterday was the mostly uncut version of an article I rewrote for the about to be renamed USHGA (United States Hanggliding Assocation) magazine. www.ushga.org
