| A big turn-out! ~160 pilots I think I heard. From the LZ looking up at launch and the Sangre de Cristo Range |
I didn't have sufficient time to do my homework for this trip. I thought the swifts fly in was a Hang Gliding class5 event -Ha Nope! Anyway I had decided to take it easy and not be too ambitious since I've barely flown in 16 months. Over launch looking south ~13k.
Over launch looking down at Villa Grove.
Over launch about 15k looking north toward Salida.
Over Villa Grove looking down on the LZ and Launch. A place I've heard about for years, but hadn't managed to visit until now.
Valley is around 8k feet MSL Peaks around 13.5k, previous day I flew down to the corner and back, flying the Freedom as I'm really out-of-practice. This glider is much easier to land and more forgiving of mistakes.
Looking south down toward the Great Sand Dunes National Park. What a great fun weekend, so nice to see (at a distance) so many friendly faces I've not seen in months/years. Somehow I was so busy catching up I didn't take a single group shot.
