Flying sites in Pacific NorthWest:
Where to learn Hang Gliding in Pacific Northwest:
Day 1: Thanks to Mark Rabe give me a ride up to 3K launch
Day 2:
Although Cliffside was soarable on Nov 12, it wasn't good enough to bench up to the wind turbines, as the wind direction was too east. Eight hangs showed up (2 didn't fly) and 30- 40 PGs (maybe more) all shared the smooth ridge lifts together. The sight of air traffic appeared intimidating, but ultimately it worked out for everyone. I punched off first at 1:30 and flew for almost 3 hrs. Neil Clark landed on top and re-launched again for a second flight. Ray Berger got maybe over 2 hrs, while Kory McEniry sky out on his Rigid wing, Gabe Dinu & Nick Fulmor flew their Power Paraglider in the morning..... .etc. We all landed by the river nearly 30 mins before sunset. I'm sure there will be reports, pics & videos posted on Cascade Paragliding FB or CPC Google group later group later.
