Back to Pacific Valley! 10-26-11

Wanted to go back up to the Knob this morning, test out my theory on why I blew my landing on Sunday - it was blowing down pretty strongly again when I got up there, but a couple of nice guys came along on their 110 trail bikes, and stopped to chat, and we got into a nice conversation. Next thing I knew, the wind had turned around and was blowing up the front! Thanks, Guys! And thanks, Charlie Parker, for the music!

10-23-11 Surprise flight from the Knob, with Trey!

It was blowing down so hard when Trey and I got to the top of Plaskett Ridge, that we both assumed there was not to be any flying on this otherwise beautiful Indian Summer day. But while we walked around, talking about how crazy it would be to try to fly off the back, the wind did a 180, and got good! We both had great flights!
