My first tandem flight in 1988 was on a mountain in Southern Calif called Kagel. I started flying hang glider solo in 1990. Since then hang gliding has been my primary interest.

1 flight 1 hours / Last flight of 2016 at Dog Mtn (Glenoma,Wa)
Gabe and I left Portland today around 9am to meet up with Stas at Dog Patch at 11am. The road to launch was as Eric described yesterday. We were met with falling trees and thick blankets of snow (1.5 to 2 feet deep) on the road, but were confident thinking of making up to launch with Gabe's rig. We all had on regular shoes and brought along a hand saw,an ax and shovel (borrowed from Kim) just to be prepared. As shown from the photos, we had to cut some big trees to get through. With Gabe's Ford Expedition and no tire chains, we weren't able to make it to launch, but luckily close enough to hike the rest of the way.
At launch, the winds were light from west so we all expected getting sledders. However, it turned out better then expected considering the light conditions. We all soared, and I was able to reach 1,100 ft above launch and flew for an hour. Dog Mtn flight today was somewhat of a surprise, from bitter beginnings to ending with sweet flights at the end. Thanks to the help of Gabe and Stas's rigs, this year ended on a high note!
