Flying in Utah

A group of us loaded our gliders onto Liz's 4Runner and headed North to Plymouth, Utah to join Matt and Cody to fly the Short Divide on Saturday November the first. Launch is at the top of the hill near the antenna above Liz's head.
Below is the view out into the valley from launch. Cody's truck is out of sight blocked by the ridge in the lower center of the photo, and is parked next to the LZ. The LZ is about the center of the right half of the picture. Matt (launching first) and Cody (launching last) both specked out, and the rest of us had somewhat shorter flights, but we all had a good time, enjoying the last of the 70 degree weather for a while, and the comraderie of good friends. Matt took several photos and did commentary on his blog at: http://mattsbigadventure.blogspot.com/ The small speck is Matt at about three thousand feet over the landing zone, and the photo after is Matt immediately after landing.

A good time was had by all.

Heya Mike - nice write-up & pic's! My landing wasn't exactly "stand-up", but at least I kept my nose up :-) Welcome back to the blogosphere - I'll re-add you to the links on my 'blog!
