I got to launch off from the upper launch (l think 1800ft AGL) on my second flight yesterday. Thanks local pilot Abhishek Sethi for the ride. This is another top landable site. The footage still on my GoPro so I will post it later.

I've received a lot of private emails regarding flying sites/conditions in the San Francisco Area, which has been very helpful and I've learned a great deal. I really appreciate to those who chimed in to help. The goal of this road trip is to visit my parents and do some skateboarding/ BMXing sessions at the second largest skate park in the U.S. (Lake Cunningham Skatepark). Flying is the last priority for this road trip, but definitely will be enjoyable in getting some air time if weather permits. A few bay area pilots reached out to offer assistance and some believe that Funston and/or Mission Mtn would be the best bet for this coming weekend, so we'll see when I get there. Also, there are few Pacific Northwest pilots that may be joining me as well. Many thanks again!

It looks like there is plenty of options:
